Aftermath

Houston prepared for a visit from Rita but she decided not to come. This is one time being stoodup is okay. I've had reports from one son and several neighbors that there was some wind, some rain but less than many of the summer storms that sometime happen in Houston.

We have been watching TV this morning and so far we haven't heard reports of a massive storm surge along the Louisiana coast like the one that devastated so much of the Alabama and Mississippi coasts during Katrina. It may be another hour or two before we can get a full assessment.

Now Houston needs to get ready for another gridlock on the highways as all the evacuees return home.
