[Possum]

Well she hasn't hit yet and we already have a big mess on all exit routes in Houston Texas.

The evacuation routes on I-45 are completely gridlocked as far back into Louisiana, they are trying to get fuel trucks to stranded motorist and water to those that are tangled in this mess on these evacuation routes. The local news channels have already reported a few deaths, due to the heat index reaching over 100 degree yesterday.

It has been announced NOT to even try to take any of the designated evacuation routes due to the congestion on the highways. Most likely many of these motorist will have to weather the hurricane out in their vehicles.

We do have friends that have taken evacuation and due to the high volume of cell usage it is just about impossible to get through.

We are expecting to get hit with wind gust later today, as of the time of the posting no one really knows where Hurricane Rita's destination will get the full punch or what we may have to deal with in our Gulf Coast Areas. Hopefully we may get the lighter side of Hurricane Rita.

We have made all the preparations we can to ride it out and in hopes that the Sunday morning headlines will read "We Made It".

We hope to see postings from our Texans that are on TS.com and that all is well.

Until then....

Take care and be safe!
