That fish is a dandy! I'm well aware of PV's location and am thankful that we're on the Western coast of Mexico (Pacific side) but was concerned the past week watching Tropical Storms Jova, Kenneth, and Max now well off the Pacific coast.
I have family and friends that are supposed to be connecting through Houston and Dallas on Tuesday morning.

I think that Dallas looks like it might be okay but Houston looks like another story. I was reading that they have begun mandatory evacuations and that Rita could well be a cat.5 hurricane as she makes landfall Friday evening. Even with all of our sophisticated weather instruments, we won't know what path the storm will track until she does.
I'll say again that I sure hope that the Gulf states are spared.
