Right up I35.

BTW, that's not the size, that's just the possible path. With the center being I35. I live under the dashed line, halfway between the H & S.

I know that's not the actual size of it, but I'm sure it will hit pretty much the entire Texas coast, which will likely cover the majority of the state.

The way Houston is reacting to Rita, you would think that "The End is Near"


I just went to the gas station, had to wait 10 min just to get to the pump. I hear Houston is running out of gas. I am not worried about things, but be prepared none the less.
