Hurricane Rita T-3days

3 days to go before Hurricane Rita’s landfall.

Counting the days. Working along at work but my concentration level is not at 100%... nor is it at 80%... part of me is debating if my family and I should skip out of H-town as soon as possible.

Last night, my 3 years old and I went for a little Hurricane Shopping. We got a bunch of can food and chicken of the sea in packs. We also got a few Alphabet soups as well, but of course.

Wanted get another torchlight but all of them are out! From Maglite to what have you, all of them were out at both Target and Walmart! Of course I could not find a single D-cell or C-cell battery.

I am going to hit Sam’s Club later today and then the drug stores and office department stores, in that order.

I have enough water at home. I will fill up the bathtub with water for the non-drinking purposes.

Going to check my first-aid kid and find the camping equipment… may be buy some charcoal for burning… so much to think about.

Got to withdraw some cash tonight… I’ll bring my camera with me where ever I go from today onwards.

Just came back from shopping around.
No batteries C-cell or D -cell,
No bread,
No purified water(gatorade is still available),
No torchlight,
No duct tape...

I am really thinking harder about leaving now...
