Hurricane Rita Menaces My Hometown!


Hurricane Rita was category 5 just a few days ago.

It was called the 3rd strongest hurricane ever recorded. Thank God it died down to a category 3 and missed the Galveston/Houston area late last night by about 100 miles.

I grew up just south of Houston and went through Hurricane Alicia in 1983, the last major hurricane to directly hit Houston/Galveston. It was crazy and scary. We still have friends with businesses and homes in that area and thankfully, they were all sparred any major destruction.

It has been a crazy hurricane season....and it's not over yet.
