Rita's strike probability


Tuesday, September 20, 2005.... RITA IS NOW A CATEGORY 1 HURRICANE, as of 9:16 a.m.

9:45 a.m. lots of rain and wind
12:20 I just woke up and looked out my window. The streets are sooo flooded. I guess I slept through a lot of rain? Pictures to come.
1:15 Category 2 Hurricane with winds of 100mph






Last night Tropical Storm Rita was pretty calm. I went to bed around 2:00 a.m.. I woke up around 4:00 a.m. to the sound of heavy wind and rain. It lasted for about ten minutes. I am now up 7:45, in bed still really tired. It is so strange out, cloudy, windy but no rain. South Florida is also under a tornado watch until 5:00 p.m. Rita is still a Tropical Storm, could become a Category 2 by the time it reaches the Keys.

The news says it will get worse, schools are closed today, county offices are closed as well, the airports are open now but a lot of cancelled flights. My sister is actually stuck in LA. She was supposed to home come last night on the red eye.

So last night I hung out with my neighbor Erik. Do you guys remember Erik from my blog? He was the one who went wakeboarding down the street during Katrina. I have nothing exciting to say. Rita did not provide us with flooded streets, at least not yet. Can't a guy just smile?
