Hurricane

All our hopes and prayers for rain seem to be coming back to haunt us with the approach of Hurricane Rita. The entire Texas Gulf coast is having to leave for higher ground. I think all my family has found a safe place to wait out the storm; who knows what will happen after the storm. I just hope everybody has a home to return to. Galveston and surrounding area may be in a really bad situation. Guess I'm living long enough to see history repeat its self; this storm looks like a repeat of Hurricane Carla back in 1961. Carla changed our lives for ever and this storm is about to do the same to many of our family, friends and neighbors. Now all we can do is hope and pray for the best. I guess one of my biggest concerns is for my mothers house and property my oldest daughters home and property and the lives of our friends and fellow Texans on the Gulf Coast. We can replace property, but it will be really hard on some of these people. I think God must be trying to tell this country something; I hope we get the message soon and correct our ways. Our mistake must have something to do with the petro business; seems that's what all the storms are aimed at. We really need alternative fuels for our transportation, hope it happens in my lifetime. I would love to see the middle east suffer from having all that petro and no place to sell it. Looks like our government would be looking harder at solving that problem and not so hard to getting us to the moon and beyond, but then maybe they will find the solution on the moon or in route. We don't know unless we try.
Texas is still having 100+ temp and no rain, but that may be corrected real soon in a big way; along with lots of wind and tornatoes. Pray for all us Texans along with the people from Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
