I am praying hard too that Rita gets weaker and weaker down to Cat-2 levels. Maybe if we as a nation pray more to God we can reduce Rita power, before landfall.

I seem to remember people bragging about how they'd prayed Katrina away from New Orleans, that Monday of landfall.

Mr.President Bush, please address the nation and ask the American people to pray to God, and ask God to reduce Rita power. Please

I read somebody's journal from Katrina -- he said that was Blanco's pre-storm advice "Let's pray this thing down to a two."
