roncli.com blog: Hitting the Road

As you no doubt can tell if you're a regular visitor, this ain't the regular site for my blog. The reason is we're hitting the road, and I wanted a place to be able to post information about me and Kathy while we are away.

Yes, we're getting the hell away from Rita. This map should explain fairly sufficiently why. We're dealing with the third strongest storm (by barometric pressure, currently 898 millibars or 26.52 inches) in recorded history.

I decided today to hit the road at midnight to minimize the time we're going to be in traffic in daylight. That said, we're probably going to hit quite a bit of it in the morning, I anticipate 12 hours to wherever we decide on going. I'll post that location before or as we leave.

Overreacting? There's a saying that you cannot overreact to a category 5 hurricane. Oklahoma City may get some of the storm, probably as a tropical storm, so I'm aiming for Amarillo. We'll see, and I'll be sure to keep you updated along the way.
