Thanks for the ping. I saw a 78 year old woman in Galveston say that she was going down with Rita. IMO, someone like that should be Baker Acted because she's a danger to herself. I hope her bravery or ignorance, call it what you will doesn't kill her.
I saw her too. She's as brave/foolhardy/fatalistic as old Harry Truman (!) who refused to evacuate his cabin on Mt. Saint Helens before the volcano blew. He was never seen or heard of again.
