Tuesday, September 27, 2005I'm Back I'm back and all is well. The roads were so crowded, I ended up getting on an airplane and flying up to Virginia where I have some relatives. They graciously took us in while we waited out the storm and its aftermath.When I left, Rita was Category 5 and heading straight for Houston. Landfall was well east of us and with a Category 2 status. The house is fine. No broken windows, no fallen trees, no water inside. Power is still intermittent, but we have electricity more than we don't. So ... prayers for those who are still without power, those who are still trying to get home, those who took the direct hit and those in charge of recovery efforts. Thanks to those of you who held us in your thoughts and prayers. Blessings upon you.

I'm thinkin' that's why Moses walked the Hebrew people out of Egypt. No airports, and the logistics of transporting them all vehicularly was too mind-boggling. Interestingly, the powers-that-be in our fair capital city just challenged residents to consider their level of preparedness in the face of such disasters. Area peoples were warned that officials cannot always give assistance in a timely manner when major calamity strikes, which was a little sobering--a disclaimer before the disaster!

Dee... Great that you're back and family is all safe. Read that you all might be experiencing rolling blackouts. Hope everything improves as the week progresses.
