HURRICANE  
Update: 09/20/05

It has not been very long since Hurricane Katrina slammed the Louisiana coast. So many evacuees have spread out to other states for help. Many have come to Houston. 

Now, the Texas coast is looking to the waters now...closely watching for the possibility of landfall from Rita.
