Here in Dallas...

Dallas has pretty much dodged the bullet and has turned out to be a good place to take refuge for those who had to endure the I-45 bumper to bumper trek. We haven't gotten the rain or wind we thought we'd be getting. But according to AccuWeather and The Weather Channel, it's on the way. Dallas looks to be right on the western edge of the remnants of Rita.

Dallas gas prices haven't increased in the last few days, which is a little surprising, because some stations are out of gas.

Dallas City Hall has a Hurricane disaster resource website for anyone needing assistance. It's a good starting point for anyone needing help.
