Texas always has to horn in on the action. So now we get a dumb cat. 5 hurricane. *pfft*. I am thinking that while it will definitely be a blustery day at the House of Mellow, that's all it will be. It would sure be ironic if a tree fell on our newly-installed and very expensive windows, but we're about 200 miles inland and by the time Rita makes it here, my prediction is that it'll just be an assload of rain and a few branches down, which happens several times a year here anyway. So all you Austin folks, do not soil your undies, it will be okay.

All the same, people are freaking out. I have Mabon ritual scheduled for Saturday night, and I have a feeling it's going to be very sparsely attended. I'm almost wondering if I should cancel it. It's planned for indoors, but if people are all tweaky about driving (and some folks are coming from the other end of town) then it might be a kindness to just tell everyone to take a load off and think happy thoughts or whatever.

Probably wise to cancel....Saturday's going to be a mess.

The Navy is predicting it may still be Cat 1 when it hits Austin, and thinks the eye is comin' right for us.

Not to mention the storm is about the size of Texas.
