Thanks to everyone that wished us well here in Houston with the onset of Rita. We were incredibly fortunate - but are very well aware that the good fortune comes at a great price to someone else. In this case, the East Texas coast and West Louisianna coast became the target. I have been so busy with my own city today that I haven't had a chance to see the details of what hapened this morning, but the emergency community here in Houston will surely contribute whatever we can to those folks.
As a volunteer fireman, I have sepnt the last 36 hours preparing our city and then hunkering down through the storm to make sure that people have a place to come back to . As soon as I was free this afternoon, I headed to the airport to check on my birds. Thankfully, both the RV-8 and my trusty Grumman came through with no damage at all, as I expected once Rita decided to graze us to the east.
Thansk again to all who expressed support, and offered help - what a great community!
