Rita: Friday late afternoon

Well, we went for a nice long, long doggie walk out in the wind. It's an odd wind for us here - it rarely gets even breezy. Thus, it's a but eerie. Looks like less than 1/4 of people have left Kingwood. Many folks out in their driveways/garages having a beer and a steak. Many cars parked up high in the drive, even sideways, since during serious down-pours the streets flood a bit when the drains cannot keep up.

We just got the first few raindrops. It looks like Rita will track east enough of us that things well be not too, too bad. We'll see about that. We're ready, though, she could change her mind yet.


Hey, don't forget about the webcam of the backyard while we still have power and internet!

I wish I knew a way to stream it right on here...
