Maybe I should have saved that line from The Knitters about "Someday it's gonna rain, someday it's gonna pour" for the title of this post. Fortunately, there's still the other half of the line, as used above.

I'm usually not a hurricane alarmist, but think good thoughts for my brother and his girlfriend. Their house is just 4 or 5 blocks from the water in Seabrook, TX. They moved their stuff up to the second floor before they evacuated to my folks' house in Dallas yesterday, but if the projected storm surges come in it could be questionable whether that will even be enough. So here's hoping that they (and everybody else) still have houses to go back to at the end of the weekend. Let's hope all the news coverage is just post-Katrina alarmism.
