Well, gang, it looks like it's our turn.
Hurricane Rita is now a Category 4 storm and is expected to make landfall on the Texas Gulf Coast (brace yourselves, Galveston, Corpus Christi, etc.) late Friday/early Saturday.
Mandatory evacuations have begun as of 6 AM in Galveston for special needs individuals (nursing home residents, etc.) Mandatory evacuations for the general populace may be announced later today.
It goes without saying, but ... If you live in the Gulf Coast, be sure to tune in to your local news and listen to all warnings/instructions provided by authorities.
