Not the Kind of Rita I Like
Okay, I'm starting to freak out a little about Hurricane Rita. It's really freaking big and it's going to hit around the Freeport area, best guess as of now.
I live in Spring, about ten minutes from Intercontinental Airport, so I think we're far enough away that nothing too big is going to happen to us, though I'm sure we're going to lose electricity and get a lot of rain.
Anyway, keep all of us in your thoughts that everything will be okay for us in Rita's path.

I lived in Lake Jackson (near Freeport) for a few years as a kid... scary stuff. You, Christine and so many other bloggers are on my mind tonight.

Yeah, when it is this big, I don't think there is such a thing as "far enough away". If your house is built up to code, it should be fine - but I was told today (by someone in the house-building industry) that 80mph can take a roof of a house.
I wouldn't panic, but I would definitely prepare. I think you normally park your car outside - you might want to find a place where you can get it indoors and out of harms way.

Stay Safe!
