Blogging Rita- part 11

Rita has moved inland. We all went to bed last night at 11 pm and all was well. We were awakened this morning at 5:20 am when the power loss alarm went off in the house. No TV stations are live on the portable TV. EVDO rocks!

UPDATE: We can now get a TV signal on the portable. We are on the very fringe of the storm with gusty winds but no rain at all. We still have water which is great, just no power.

Looks like Houston was spared from the brunt of the storm. I hope your family in other locations are doing well.

I’m glad to read that things are going well for you and your family.

Now go outside and blow really hard in rita’s direction to help move her along.
