"Impending doom." Those couple of words repeat over and over in my head when I think about Hurricane Rita. I find it fascinating that we know that a storm is most definitely coming our way so many days ahead of time. Looking up at the sky, seeing how nice it is (aside from all the exhausting heat) knowing that before long, all of this will change. It really doesn't seem like such a surprise that so many died in the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. One day you have nice weather on the beach, the next day your house is being blown over and then covered in water by a huge storm surge. What a drastic change.
We are sticking it out up here in north Houston, mostly because we are excitement junkies. Secondly, because I think there is definitely something spooky about deserted streets, lightning, thunder, and tornadoes. Thirdly, because I used to want to be a meteorologist, and finally because I didn't want to get stuck in traffic. So, here are some pictures we've taken from the same spot on FM 1960 over the last 2 days. We'll try to show the change...
FM 1960 - Wednesday, Sep 21, 1:00pm
FM 1960 - Thursday, Sep 22, 8:45am
FM 1960 - Thursday, Sep 22, 7:00pm
For those of you who are sticking around, we'll try to get some more updates before we pack up the computer tomorrow. Good luck to everyone and PLEASE be careful out there! |
