I think it pretty well summed it up. One aside information I picked up from a judge on the Fox network. The laws are different in Texas than in New Orleans for using a gun to protect your own property as well as property of others others. And it is legal to prevent looting with deadly force. I'm here in Austin where everyone is looting the grocery stores of water, bread and milk. It is like we are part of the disaster zone and not the refugee haven. I have an Aunt and Cousin in Houston who have been trying to get of Houston since Friday morning at 6:00 a.m. They are trying to get to my Mom's in Ennis and just gave up last night. Right now they are stranded out of gas somewhere near Huntsville on I45. The governor released the state workers from work so we would not be cloggining the road ways. Both I35 and 290 run into Austin. Oddly the weather forcast is only 30% chance of  rain in Austin and the Austin City Limits festival is still on.
Keep Texas in your prayers over the weekend. We are going to need it. Think I'm going to have to buy a bike to ride to work :)
