Hurricane Rita changed course slightly. From Morgan City to about half way across south-west Louisiana and south-east Texas are in the red - which is a danger zone in hurricane terms. Morgan City is not even an hour from here in Houma. And because the hurricane speed went down to 9 MPH, the increase gives the hurricane a higher chance of turning.
To all my friends in Louisiana and Texas - be careful and stay safe. There's not much of a chance of evacuation due to closed roads, already over-crowded cities, and heavy traffic in many areas.
