Sept  2005...this would be Hurricane Rita. Lived in the Houston area  and this was on the heels of  the hurricane  Katrina that took out New Orleans  .Our first  evacuation  after having lived  there  for  3 years .Trying to get the house ready   for heavy storm winds, maybe flooding and picking out  what was essential to take  in case our home was destroyed  became   a daunting task.Scary, but  our  area was not hit.
