Hurricane Rita - Port Arthur, Texas

[MsPrettygirlswag3]

Well boys in Port Arthur, you can always go on strike and put up picket lines around churches until God relents and does what you demand. It worked with Gulf and Texaco and all of the other refineries in the area. Well, almost worked. Now Port Arthur is a ghost town compared with what it could have become. It just doesn't work when the tail wags the dog, does it.

@TheTexn There isn't much of a union is SETX anymore. At least with the iron workers anyway.

Rita was weak compared to what I've had to deal with in Florida (Hurricane Andrew, Charley, Jeanne, and Wilma were stronger than Rita)

However, We have lucked out with the Storm Surge.

I was 8 months pregnant and living in mauriceville. We evacuated to Newton of all places because I didnt think it was giong to be a big deal. Well, it was. Next time, I am going WAY north.
