Reading the NOAA tracking forcast it looks like Ritas eye will be in the 
El Campo - Wharton area Sat am.  Later that day it should pass a hundred 
miles to the west of me if present conditions/forcast hold. 

I am 6 miles south of Plantersville which is half way between Hempstead 
and Conroe on US 105.  Wind gusts here are predicted to be between 35 
and 60 mph.  Enough to cause some of the older trees to come down.

Houston and surrounding area is in a panic. They actually fighting in 
Wal-Mart in Tomball over water last night. Blood all over the floor.  As 
reported on the radio this afternoon, one of the evacuation routes speed 
was 6 mph.

Here in Todd Mission, our biggest concern is a power outage. So we are 
stocking up on water filters and bottling our own water. Since we are a 
bunch of old hippies, if the lights go out, when it get dark we'll just 
make love.
