I'm sure everyone's tired of Rita already.. but I live in Huntsville and it's getting really crazy here. My parents have come from Tomball to stay with me, and my dad took a few pictures of the people stranded in town.

Yeah it's getting pretty bad, I'm thinking people will have to ride out the storm in their cars. I live by/go to SHSU, and I reaally hope they open up the campus buildings to people when it starts raining.

Wow. How did you get these photos? Did you actually go out into the traffic to take these?
Seriously, you should consider selling these to a newspaper or something. :)

My dad took them. He and my grandpa ventured out into town and took pictures of everything going on.

Wow, they're quite lovely as far as the actual photographs go, but pretty scary to see. Especially that second one.

Those make me so sad, because I just know that would have been my family if we would have tried leaving. So sad.

Those are incredible photos.

It's good to know that if they become stranded and have to resort to cannibalism, the cop in #5 will feed a family of six for a month.

With all those people carrying gallons of gas around in things like milk jugs it'll be a miracle if there's not a massive conflagration at some point.

I really hope everyone can get the hell off the roads before Rita comes to town.

They went back out at about 4 and the roads were clear. Not really sure where they went, though.

We're doing fine here, in fact my grandparents went to bed and my mom's passed out on the couch.

I haven't heard much more about the situation in town other than most of the people have cleared off the roads and highways.
