Hurricane Rita was Upset She Didn't Get Her Own Discussion Thread

And therefore caused a high enough storm surge again to breach the New Orleans Levees.

The 9th Ward is under water. Again.

I'm guessing the French Quarter might go this time, but I tend not to be optomistic.

Few of the structures that survived Katrina will withstand Rita. (note to the people who assign hurricane names ... try to stay away from cutesy near-rhymy name combos like this. We need the names to be distinctive enough that we can easily recall which one is which)

I started this thread largely because I didn't want plthijnx's photojournal to get bogged down with endless discussions of the storm's progress that don't relate to Houston and environs.

I think the comparisons between responses to the two storms should prove interesting.

I'm certain that at least some of the comments will point to the "whiteness" of Houston/Galveston, as well as the Presidential connection to Texas ... just you watch ...

I would like to take a moment to offer my sincere thanks to the Louisiana State CISM Coordinator, who told me to stay home.
