So far it sounds like Hurricane Rita is easing up as it approaches. At least people are exercising caution as they are actually evacuating the areas forecast to be hit. There was some sad news I heard on the radio this morning as I was driving to classes. I guess for me its always difficult to imagine senior citizens perishing in such a violent manner. When I was eating lunch today it looked like New Orleans is flooding again due to the rain. On that note, lets here it for the mayor of New Orleans how told everyone last week that it was okay to return.
