Hurricane Rita

[xerox78]

Rita is headed toward my birthplace of Houston, Texas. I pray for my family who lives there, the residents, and the NOLA evacuees who are now double evacuees. I see that it is the same thing as with Katrina -- the poor and weak are still too poor and weak to evacuate so their lives are now in the balance. I don't know what to do except hope.

I leave out of town tomorrow, so I won't be back until late Saturday or Sunday.

*prays for you and your family*

I truly hope everything goes better than it did with Katrina.

All the best. Make sure you let us know when you're back and whether your family is safe.

I'll pray for you and your family as well. If there's any blessing out of Katrina, it's that people are prepared and on guard this time, so hopefully, evacuations will be prompt and thorough.

I'm optimistic on what will happen in Houston. Our dumbass-in-chief knows he's being hammered for not caring about the poor, and Texas happens to be one of his 'base states,' so he has a lot of motivation for making sure that everybody is cleared out
