Crossing our Fingers Tightly

More national guard convoys driving south today -- water trucks, fuel trucks, cranes, and slant-front trucks that look more like boats.

No water on the shelves at the grocery stores, I hear. Not a bottle to be found. And the parking lots were packed in the afternoon.

Bad traffic on the freeways coming from Houston. Real bad traffic. Like, 19 hours to cover what usually takes 3. In the sweltering heat.

Late tomorrow, rain will come. And wind. And high water along the Gulf.

We'll all be holding our breath and crossing our fingers tightly. From hundreds of miles inland, that's all we can do -- that and hope that it doesn't turn out as badly as it might.
