Rita 3?

Texas is a large state. While the non-stop coverage of the flight from the path of hurricane Rita dominates the TV news operations, locally (and amazingly to me) a major three day outdoor music festival is scheduled to go on as planned in Austin as they say we will experience little to no rain here.

I can't quite believe we will be totally spared; maybe the disbelief comes from our planning ahead - we brought in supplies and moved everything outdoors inside and away from wind damage. Of course, it would be a blessing if true.

Surely somewhere - where Rita comes on shore - will be devastated. At 150 miles from the bay, I thought we'd see significant wind and rain even if not of true hurricane strength. Fate rides in the storm path.

If only I didn't have to (literally) face oral surgery this morning. There's no avoiding the dental path.
