Houston and Rita

I recently moved from Houston to Portland, which has been great.  It seems even better now that a category 5 hurricane, Rita, is bearing down on Houston.  Other than one particularly nasty day of rainfall, where I was trapped in a Denny’s parking lot for a few hours, I never had a huge issue with the water.  So I think I escaped just in time.

Houston has been in turmoil since Katrina refuges flooded into the city weeks ago.  The hotels are pretty full all over the state so I have no idea where the people fleeing Galveston Island and Houston will go.  I’m just happy none of this is my problem right now.
