Rita Report

Rita has come and gone here in north Louisiana, and we were left basically unscathed.  We had 50 mph wind gusts, white caps on the lake and lots of small tree limbs and leaves flying, but no downed trees.  Our power blinked a dozen times but was never lost entirely.  We even dodged the flooding that was predicted, while getting 3-4 inches of badly needed rain.  This morning  (Sunday) we still have a constant wind from all directions, but the sun is out and the cleanup coming right along.  Others were not so lucky, however.  Let's hope the rest of Louisiana can get back to normal before long, as well.
