A Glancing Blow

I just got word from my dad that their power is out and some limbs are down. Otherwise, they did okay.

Things are more uncertain east of Houston into Louisiana. There are some nasty remnants of Rita moving up through East Texas, too.

Authorities are now trying to figure out how to repopulate Houston in an semi-orderly fashion. A lot of it will depend on availability of gasoline.

Here in Austin, it's going to be hot and dusty with temps approaching 100. We probably won't even get a drop of rain from Rita.
