Subject: Hurricane Rita.
It's going to hit us late tonight and tomorrow, but by then it'll be a 'tropical storm'. Winds are supposed to get up to be 40-60 with 'strong wind gusts at times', which wouldn't be so bad, except that I live in a trailer. We're not leaving either. I think a few of our neighbors are, though.

Oh. Isn't it funny that our RV is more likely to survive these winds than our trailer?

We've got some kids from New Orleans at our school, I think, in the younger grades. Poor kids. Poor people who evacuated from Louisiana, just to get hit by Hurricane Rita, and then there's the tornadoes that will probably spring up because of the front from the north hitting the air from the hurricane.

I think I've only ever seen a 100% chance of rain a couple of times before. The one time that I remember vividly was when I was around 4 years old. I went outside and was swinging around a pole under the stairs (in the apartment complex we used to live in). It was misting. It never rained.

Fun.

Anyway, I think I'm going to go outside for a bit. The wind's only around 15 mph right now. Nevermind all the sand.

Yay windchimes.

Why is your RV more likely to survive?
