[or-roots] Rita, Katrina, et al

[bajotu at direcway.com]

Believe me, as a person who fled Houston in preparation for Hr Rita,
I am very VERY gratefull for the USAF and all agencies who helped us.
I was lucky, my home south of Houston was spared the wrath of Rita and
I will be able to go home tomorrow. (right now I am in Seguin Tx with
family).
