Evacuation Time in Texas

My brother Wally, one of my favorite people, will soon flee the Houston area (the small town of La Porte) with his dog Rita (!) for further-inland San Antonio in advance of category 4 Hurricane Rita, on the advice of his employer and of Houston's mayor. Our sister Becky (for whom my daughter is named) will head out of League City to Granbury (outside the Dallas–Fort Worth area) with her husband and kids. I'm hoping for their safety—and that of all Gulf Coast residents—as Rita moves toward a predicted late-Friday/early-Saturday landfall.


Updated at 4:20 p.m., September 21, 2005: Rita is now a category 5 storm.
