well, just to let everyone know, i am now back from hurricane rita safe and sound, and my house is still in one piece. thank god! but man what a trip it was. usually it takes about 5 hrs to get from my house to dallas....na ah...not this time....it took 10 hrs..... because we were in traffic for 5 hrs getting there. oh man i have never been in traffic that was so bad in my life. but finally we got to my uncles and everything was fine. but i worried the whole time because that damn hurricane couldnt make up its friggin mind where it wanted to go. finally after it hit land, and didnt hit us, i was at ease....but still worried that the wind that we got, knocked down a tree into our house...and of course all the trees are next to my room. but as soon as we got in our driveway, my worries were over. i just had so much stuff to loose, and i could only take a few things....my most important things. my records, my clothes, and my NES. everything else had to stay. but o well my house is still here, my room is all back together now, and im thankful for that. but...i dunno if i could ever go through it again....i just hope the rest of hurricane season goes smoothily...so far our area has been ok...but my heart goes out to those who have no home and have lost loved ones....
