I remember Rita.

I was at my farm 100 miles from Houston and there was bumper to bumper traffic on the state highway.

We had cars with kids, elderly, and pets parking on our front yard.

My front yard is big.

They had just run out of gas and saw our house.

We had 7 cars in the yard.

Then it got dark, no more cars came.

Then it got dark and nothing but headlights and tail lights on the highway.
