Hurricane Rita Evacuation
When evacuated what was there to do . Well we took a day to relax as the hurricane moved closer to Houston. Tubeing on the Brazos river helped keep our minds of the hurricane and relax after the long journey especially for me having travelled from the UK, cleared the house, packed the car, and then travelled from Houston to Dallas.
..... The return to Houston on the Saturday morning we did wonder what we were travelling back into, and what we would find when we got home . The return only took 5 hours driving and we found only leaves off trees and bannana plants leaves ripped but everything else safe and the sun was out and the weather was calm . This was in stark contrast to what was found on the East side of the State and in Louisianna. A close shave for us as the category 5 Hurricane lessened to a 4, then 3 and moved off from its original path towards the East side of Texas sparing us its wrath......
