Emilie,

Thanks for your concern.  I do live in Mexico's east coast near the
Texas border but about 100 miles inland from the Gulf.  Although we're
not in Rita's direct path we're watching closely where it is going.  I
too have some relatives in Houston who have had to evacuate to safer
places.  Hopefully there won't be any loss of human lives this time.

Saludos!
Victor Villarreal
Reynosa, Mexico

library are out of harm's way.  I have a cousin in League City
(between Galveston and Houston) that has evacuated to either
Huntsville, Tx or Nacogdoches, TX.  We pray for them all, and hope
they can salvage something of their possessions if they get hit hard
by Rita.
