Hurricane Rita/Katrina

Listening to the news yesterday and so far this morning it appears that all levels of government are doing what is necessary this time to ensure order and preparedness in the wake of Hurricane Rita. What keeps coming to mind though is that it is so sad that it took 1003 + lives to be lost by Katrina for them to realize the importance of this. The death toll so far from Hurricane Katrina stands at 1003 for all areas involved but that number is sure to rise. 799 alone lost their life in Louisiana. I certainly am very concerned for those living in the Galvaston/Houston areas as this storm seems even stronger than Katrina. God Speed.
