Day 22 Early PM: TS Rita

Stop your whimpering, Texas, it’s a TS/Cat1. Louisianans take leisurely strolls and watch football in that sort of weather.

Reactions on Rita from various folks –

  • txyankee: “It’s just a sprinkle for you folks.”
  • D: “Why does god hate you? Are you sure Maitri doesn’t mean something different like Wrath Of God?”
  • Neil Finn sings: “Everywhere you go, take the weather with you.”

More as Hurricane Rita develops.

Update: NO mayor Nagin caved to federal pressure that disapproves of the early re-entry schedule, especially given TS/Hurricane Rita’s entry into the Gulf of Mexico. He wants returned residents to evacuate again and ones in the wings to hold off. I see a pattern forming from Rita and it looks like a scapegoat.

    Fifth grade. Hurricane Jerry. Pasadena, Texas. Category 1. We slept in the hallway that night, but not for any good reason.

    Next morning – schools are open. 7 am choir practice is still on. We all trudge wearily into the choir room (because with the rain and wind and lightning, none of us eleven-year-olds slept much the night before.)

    Choir director says, “Come on, cheer up! You’re all acting like it’s Monday morning after a hurricane!”
