We’re going to follow Laurence Simon’s lead and use this post as a placeholder for the Rita announcement that was stuck at the top during the excitement.

ALERT: MAYOR WHITE AND JUDGE ECKELS ASK THAT IF YOU HAVE LEFT TOWN, PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO RETURN NOW. GRIDLOCK IS LIKELY TO RESULT, AND THERE’S NO REASON TO REPEAT THAT EXERCISE FROM THE EVACUATION AND MANY GOOD REASONS NOT TO. TXDOT ASKS THAT PEOPLE RETURNING ADHERE TO THIS VOLUNTARY SCHEDULE.

Laurence Simon has a good list of local Rita-related bloggers and news sources, and the Chronicle‘s SciGuy and Rita blogs will be good sources of information as well. As Laurence says, if you’re getting news about Rita from some national newspaper or out-of-state blogger, you’re probably missing part of the story.

Here’s a thread in our forum for anybody who wants share his/her Rita stories/thoughts.
