The Readiger family's adventure with the hurricane - September 20-25, 2005
The experts predict that hurricane Rita will hit the east Texas coast as a category 5 hurricane within the week. I decide to take off early from work on Wednesday to go home and prepare for the big mess. The prediction points show this hurricane going right over my area which is in the zone 3 flood zone in Harris county. My first decision was to stick this thing out over at my brother's brick house (not far from mine) but then considered my extended family of animals and decided that we would evacuate. I figured that I could survive such a storm, but it was also my responsibility to ensure that everyone in my family (including my critters) would also survive.
This is my hurricane story.
