Time to Evacuate!!!

Well, looks like Rita has taken an unwanted turn right towards Beaumont, Texas! So, my family is packing up pictures, movies, clothes, etc. We're evacuating tonight late or very very early in the morning, hoping to avoid as much traffic as possible. I really don't like this at all. My home is where I always feel safe, and now, that has changed. My home is no longer a place of refuge. It's a bit frightening. It's such a strange feeling to have to choose what to pack, what to put in the tops of closets, and what to leave as is. I think that we're far enough north not to receive much wind damage, but the torrential downpour for 4 days straight or so may cause some pretty serious flooding! I'm praying our home is resistant to this natural disaster that's heading our direction! Please keep us and everyone in this hurricane's path in your prayers!
