For whatever reason I can't seem to download new posts this weekend.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I called Cindy's house late in the
afternoon on Friday and no one answered. I'm sure she evacuated. She's also
probably one of those to return quickly because I think her husband would be
essential personnel. Although I think she'd consider him to be essential
personnel no matter what his job. I'm going to try calling her house again
later today.

So glad that most of my friends have probably managed to avoid major damage,
especially one friend who lives in Galveston Beach area. But another might
have found themselves in Rita's path. They left Houston and headed for the
Lumberton area where their daughter's family lives.

I guess it will be another couple of days before we all know how much damage
has occurred. Port Charles looked as bad as New Orleans. I've watched the
live feed from KHOU all day yesterday.

At least we can evacuate when we know there is a hurricane coming - can't do
that with a tornado or earthquake.

Still crossing my fingers for friends who were in Rita's path.
