Here she comes...

This is my crude map of Lovely Rita, for those not in Texas that may be worried about us in Austin. I'm pretty sure we'll be okay, but the Texas Coast is in trouble. Heard on the news this morning that all of the major highways (I-45, I-10, US-290) are all switched to outbound only from the coast.
The corporate offices of my company are in Houston, so I imagine work will be affected. One good thing about the Canadians? Our servers are still in Ontario! Computers etc will work, but their will be no one to make the exceptions/decisions only our corporate officers can make.... I sure hope everyone gets the heck out of there safely! It will be interesting though, because homebuyers have zero patience. Um, hello, Cat 5 storm hitting Texas? Get it? It's bigger than your home purchase? Insurance companies are not writing any new policies until next week... lots of things will be affected. Oh well, I'll just roll my eyes at them (over the phone of course) and go on.
