I&#8217;ve already gotten a couple of emails, and I just wanted to let everyone know that I appreciate them thinking about me. I live in a small town about 25 miles east of Austin, so I&#8217;m not very close to the coast and I will not be evacuating. With the current track (always subject to change), it looks like we&#8217;ll get some rain and moderate winds where I am. If the track returns to the forecast path of yesterday, then we may still have a category 1 hurricane to deal with by the time Rita is in Central Texas. Should that happen, we&#8217;re going to pack up the animals and go into Austin, since our house is in a relatively high and exposed area where winds could be a problem.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea if I&#8217;ll be answering email quickly or not in the next few days, so I would appreciate your patience if you are waiting for a response on something. If there is strong rain on Saturday, the satellite internet at the house will probably be knocked out and I won&#8217;t be able to send anything or do any updates. If things turn worse for those of us inland, we&#8217;ll probably be obsessively watching the Weather Channel, but I might want to deal with Tudor things to take my mind off the other stuff!<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, any readers who are in an area of potential danger, please take care of yourself!<\/p>\n<p>[Comments are closed on older posts.
