I am surprised to see all the photos of damage. Last night I was thinking Rita came in a lot less powerful than expected. What's the reasoning behind downplaying Rita???

So they can continue to play up Katrina. Their not ready to let go of Katrina cause thats the one they can hammer Bush with.

"What's the reasoning behind downplaying Rita???"

I can't answer that but I can tell you that lots of folks in Texas need lots of help as well. My parents and I made a delivery to Corrigan, TX today after learning that they were in desperate need of supplies. The Salvation Army provided us with a truck and trailer full of water, baby supplies, and some food. Not nearly enough, but it was a start.
Here's an article about Jasper, TX. Has anyone seen this mentioned on the MSM?http://www.lufkindailynews.com/news/content/news/stories/2005/09/27/20050927LDNjasper.html

Freepers, please help get some attention brought to these areas.
