Best of luck and may you find a dry shelter and a warm bed. You need help, holler.

Most of those tracks have the hurricane crossing or passing near Austin and Dallas and points between. Those of us in Dallas are going to get a really big rainstorm, at the very least.
Better get ready, if you're not already.

"After Celia, I don't stick around to ride out hurricanes."
I was there, too. The anemometers (for measuring wind speeds) broke. It was weird. ..and strange as to how the recorded top speeds have been adjusted down since. All of the partially brick veneered houses in my neighborhood were leveled (rigidity), but all of the residents of those houses had evacuated. The wood frame houses that were built for hurricanes withstood to various extents.
Although sitting through several hours of rumbling and pulsating walls was rough, the toughest part of it for us was doing without electricity and phones for so long afterward.

It will be interesting to see how large the Eye of this Hurricane will become. Rita may travel over this heated water for a slightly longer period of time (based on traveling to the Western Gulf) then Katrina traveled. That Hurricane not only peaked at a Cat 5, but it also had an enormous Eye. How large an area of the coast gets exposed to Cat 3 or higher winds, may be just as important as which point on the coast is landfall.
