electric mist

Hurricane Rita, 4 a.m.

For a while now, the wind has howled, then died down, then thrummed again. Several times, I thought there was some sort of engine running outside our window, only to realize again that it was the wind.

The electricity just came back on, though. Pretty amazing, given all that those workers must be having to do.

I'm worried about Lake Charles. I've got family there, and lots of friends. I'm pretty sure they all got out, but still.

I really wish my prediction (below) would have been wrong.
