My dad sent me this picture. It was taken in Fritch, Texas. That is one big Rattler!

I love this shot from Foxnews.com this morning, hope everyone is ok in Texas!
I heard from dad today, say’s they are waiting the big storm, Rita, a Cat 5 Hurricane that is expected to make landfall by Friday. I got this from the City Of Georgetown website tonight:
Wednesday, Sept. 21, 9:00 p.m.—With Hurricane Rita expected to make landfall south of Galveston as a Category 4 storm early Saturday morning, City of Georgetown officials are preparing for heavy rain, 40-70 mph winds, and the potential for evacuees seeking shelter in the area. Georgetown is within the greater Austin area and will coordinate with cities in Travis and Williamson Counties to open shelter space, should the need arise.
Due to the potential for high winds from Rita, residents are encouraged to minimize any damage from flying debris by taking hanging plants and patio furniture inside garages, pulling cars into garages, and tying down any outdoor objects that could cause damage. If any damage does occur, residents should secure their property, take pictures to assist with the insurance claims process, and save receipts for any items purchased to clean up from storm damage.
I noticed on Flickr there are postings already…
