Hurricane Rita Update #3

We're starting to get some wind now, not much, but enough to let us know the storm's on its way. Thin clouds are coming from the Gulf. The serious rain and wind should begin in the middle of the afternoon, with the storm coming ashore early tomorrow. About 36 hours from now, things might be settling back down. I'm not sure how much longer we'll have power here, but I'll post more updates if I can.
