Rita looks to be turning to the east - which is good for us since we'll get
the "clean" side of the storm (rain and flooding -wise) if it does.  We're
looking at 80 - 100 MPH winds at my house when it gets here.  The last big
storm we had in this area was in 1983, so we have 20+ years of new tree
growth since then (the really big trees should be fine since they're stood
here for 200 - 300 years - it's the (relatively) smaller trees that will do
the damage).  We're looking at *LOTS* of possible tree / limb damage.

But, as I said, we're boarded up tight (all of our neighbors who also stayed
are eying up our house as a possible refuge, which is fine with us as long
as they bring their own supplies).

Hugs,
