Hurricane Rita is coming to Texas In the coming days I will be chronicling my experience of Rita from the city of Austin. As it looms near I can only hope and pray that it will veer off its path and stay away from innocent lives. I know of friends who are affected by this and I ask that everyone keep those who are in Rita's path in your thoughts an prayers. School at the University of Texas at Austin or at any public school has not been cancelled for Friday. The famed Austin City Limits Festival is still on for the weekend. There is a sense of urgency however, as supplies and water are now showing up empty on shelves. I haven't started to prepare but I'm going shopping tomorrow with my roommates. I think we'll be safe in Austin but we still need to prepare for the worst. Hopefully things will start to look brighter soon.
