Rita

Catherine weathered the storm fine. College Station was in the projected path so classes were called off Friday and A & M played their ballgame Thursday night instead of Saturday. Catherine & Gretchen got their bicycles off campus, cleared the patio furniture off the deck, got a battery operated radio, and prepared for no water or electricity on Thursday & Friday. Then Rita veered off to Port Arthur so they were spared in College Station. Nicole was planning to leave Houston with her family at 4 in the morning on Friday morning to avoid the big traffic jam.
