We've evacuated from incoming hurricane Rita. We made it to Kerrville, TX where we are staying with my wife's parents. All through the trip, which took us 10 hours, we kept hearing stories form the radio about how congested the traffic was getting, and how much stronger Rita is getting. If it continues on, I don't expect we will have much left of our place to return to. We took the essentials - each other, the cats, some clothes, what food we could rescue from the freezer and put in a big cooler, some tools, a few things that were important to us, some trophies, the boxes for our PC's, and Surprise with all her gear.
I hope Rita will spare our house, but if it doesn't, we'll manage.
