Running From Rita - Part 7

Took these pictures in our backyard an hour or so ago. The one showing all the blue sky is facing east to southeast. The other is facing northwest. I took these pictures standing up at the top of the slide on our swingset.



It sure looks like a beautiful, innocent late Houston summer day. Very sunny, very hot. Nothing unusual that I could see. Looking at these pictures and having been alive here on this day before the day before the day of Rita's anticipated landfall, I can see how people got surprised in the centuries and decades before. Twenty-four to thirty-six hours from now a hurricane might be here. But I sure can't tell from looking around outside.

Kind of interesting.
