im in the sw corner of the loop 610. my wife and baby flew out. i stayed and worked a little longer. i was planning on leaving as well, but the traffic jams are a hundred miles or more. i have all the cars topped off and spare gas in a couple of empty jet a jugs, heck for that matter plenty of jet fuel for flying afterwards. i guess i am gonna ride her out here. everything around here is as secure as i can get it. so bring it RITA and lets get this done. oh, i have my cameras charged and i will get some video and still pics. maybe i will toss a park flyer in the wind and be the first rc flyer to fly in a cat4. good luck to all those around me, and i am sorry for praying for the storm to go east, but i will pray for those i am sending her too as well. what a dilemma. take care, barry
