Hurricane Rita and the bloggers
The Houston Chronicle has created a blog on which several Houston-area folks are blogging their experiences as Hurricane Rita approaches. You can check it out here.
FWIW, I've read some Houston-area blogs that suggest the storm surge, although likely to be large, won't be as much of a problem as the flooding likely to occur if, as expected, the storm slows down after landfall. The whole region is pretty flat, and with a projected 10 to 30 inches of rain, there's going to be a lot of water without much place to go. Whether or not that's true, it's going to be a long, long weekend in east Texas and western Louisiana.

No doubt. I've spent a lot of time in that area, they have floods with almost every thunderstorm but with 30 inches of rain running back down the Sabine River... (Texas-La border) Man, is that ever going to be a flood.
