OT: Getting Ready For Rita

September 20, 2005

Hi Folks,

As many of you have heard already - Hurricane Rita is making a b-line

for the Texas coast with the Houston area looking like a primary target.

They are also expecting this to be a category 4 storm when it hits on

Friday.

I'm not on the east side of town by the water, but a category 4 storm is

strong enough to have me SERIOUSLY considering " getting out of Dodge " as

the saying goes.

I will be working on packing and shipping all the in stock orders I can

today tomorrow and into Thursday in between gathering up important

documents, packing bags, the car and taking care of the house (like

possibly boarding some of the larger windows). Even if I don't evacuate

I'll have to make sure we've got our storm preparedness kits all ready,

which will mean heading out to the stores tonight and tomorrow and I can

tell you that at Sam's Club earlier I snagged the next to last cases of

water and the lines were LONG. Home Depot and Lowe's are all out of

plywood but expecting more in the morning.

I send safe wishes to everyone in the area!

*Smile*

Chris (list mom - who may once again be a bit scarce for the next

several days!)

You take care and stay dry!

Dear Chris and Anyone in Rita's path,

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Stay safe and get out if you can.
