Well, things are brightening up a touch...overnight Rita has turned somewhat hard to the north, putting us on the "better" side of the storm, i.e. the west side. Of course, we're closer to the eye now. They have not called any sort of evacuation for up here yet. We'll keep an eye on things today as we get ready here, taking in stuff from outside, etc. At this point, everything is jammed solid on the freeways.
Check out G-Hopp's entry regarding our logic thus far.
More later...
