Rita made landfall at 3:40AM EST with winds over 100mph. Some fires in Galveston, buildings destroyed and flooding in a few areas and of course, power outages. Friends from Houston emailed me yesterday telling me that lots of people gave up trying to get out after spending 6 hours on the highway and only going 18 miles. It sounds as though more people were evacuated than during Katrina but the homeless of Houston were left behind. (I guess the Bush people value all life but some are more valuable than others.)
