There they go again

Turns out the Houston Astrodome is a very bad place to be in a hurricane so New Orleans evacuees are rapidly being shipped off elsewhere. Thousands of evacuees are being moved to Arkansas while others are apparently being moved into private housing or simply given plane tickets. Meanwhile folks along the Gulf Coast brace themselves and try to figure out where Rita is going.

Rita, by the way, could reach category 4 before end of day Wednesday.

On the wacky side of the news, apparently hurricane Katrina was caused by the Yakuza. Hmm, the things I didn't know.

Finally jennifer_dunne has posted her final lesson. I'm on deck tomorrow.
