As Hurricane Rita was heading for Texas, so were my Mom, Step-Dad and step-sister Tiffany. Fortunately they're in Austin, which apparently is a 4 hour drive from Galveston on the coast, where another Step-Sister (Lauren) and her husband Chris live. Lauren said that this 4 hour drive took them 14 hours, and that by now it's at least a 24 hour trip. The hurricane hasn't even hit yet, and at least 20 people have died, due to the explosion of an evacuation bus. I'm glad my family is safe, though I'm sad that Lauren and Chris have to face the prospect that their house and possessions in Galveston are in serious danger.
