Today's news is Hurricane Rita, which reached category 5 status before weakening to category 4, then to category 3. As I write this, the storm is lashing the coast of Texas and Louisiana. It should go ashore early this morning. A levee in New Orleans was breached earlier today due to rain. Television reports are showing awful weather...rain, wind, huge breaking waves on the shore.
Horrendous traffic jam prevented many from evacuating Houston and other coastal and near-coastal cities. Many people are just trying to get to protected shelter and hold on.
I'm on the west coast on business...can't do anything to help except try to return early, which I can't reasonably do.
I just hope everyone is safe and the storm isn't as powerful or as deadly as it earlier promised to be.

Fortunately, the storm wasn't as bad as projected. The nitwit governor of Texas showed that he is as low a normal as the nitwit thief in chief, though, in not mustering highway patrol and local law to turn the highways north and west into one-way corridors of evacuation.
Will Americans (and Texans) ever again elect anyone with any smarts? I'm not hopeful.
