Thanks. I'm South of Shreveport, about 80 miles, close to the Texas border. We've seen storms hit in the gulf, but generally we do not suffer too badly. Rita though looks to be promising to kick up a bit of a fuss as far as nasty weather. I am mostly concerned over Tornadoes she might spawn. Just a couple years back a good bit of Shreveport got hammered with some Tornadoes following a fairly mild hurricane that hit the gulf. When Katrina hit, we had clear skies and sunny days. In fact, being a bit of a recluse who rarely watches TV, I did not know she had hit until two days after the fact! Just never can tell. Already raining here and Rita is still a good bit from making landfall. Just never can tell. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the others caught in her path, and even more so to those still reeling from Katrina. Seems like this year is going to bring on hard times for many. :O(
