I'm fine, here is a little story with some photos:

However, Rick and others just east of Houston took full brunt of Rita fury. 
Still have not heard from good AMC friend Jurl Davis in Jasper, which was 
hit especially hard. Granted, most of that area don't have electricity 
either, much less running water, and it is in thwe 'piney woods of Texas' as 
it is known, so lots of very tall pine trees. And when these fall they go 
thru a house, no matter how well built, like hot knife in butter. They also 
block roads and take out power lines. What is sad is if you have ever been 
to that beautiful part of the state (and also into SW Louisiana) it is some 
of the most beautiful area of the US. Tons of trees and brush. Lots of wild 
life. Louisiana is known as Sportsmans Paradise for good reason, but I can 
tell you fishing and hunting will cease for years in that SW area of the 
state, and many livelihoods depended on that like shrimping, fishing.

As I watch Michael Brown, former head of FEMA testifying before Congress 
right now, go thru the motions and sharing blame, it is really a bummer to 
think that the strongest and most prosperous country in the world has no 
definitive plans to evacuate their cities and not much plans after that 
except red tape. I'm not sure what happened to all those poor bastards from 
New Orleans who evacuated to Houston only to find themselves a few weeks 
later evacuated again, and many of them seeing the reports of Rita heading 
into Texas, went back east, many into Beaumont, which got hit hard.

Hope Rick is doing ok up there too, they got the brunt of this big storm.
