Yes, paying very close attention. There are NO hotel rooms anywhere in Texas. I have spoken with so many frantic people today I am worn out.
I finally decided someone needed to do something!! So, called our local church and they are going to take people in beginning tomorrow. I will be volunteering there tomorrow, so I will have the Dover Monster Mile thread up tonight sometime.
I really think events that are bringing out of towners in for the weekend should be canceled to free up those hotels.
Lots of rooms already are housing Katrina people.
I am thinking like ACL fest should be canceled. If CAT1 comes to Austin it should be canceled anyways.
Stay safe.
Bless your chevy drivin' heart, WCG.
Why did I have it in my head that you were in California? - or am I all confused?
Be safe and God Bless you and all those about to meet Rita.

Wish I could be there to help you. Rapid City is a long ways from hurricane activity. Most, if not all, of my relatives have evac'ed from the bay area up to Lufkin, Crockett and Palestine..........where my other relatives live.
Prayers to all. This will be a bad one.
