Nobody, it seems, could restrain themselves from punning on the Beatles song about Rita the meter maid when they wrote about the hurricane. Even the local free paper referred to her as 'Ugly Rita'.
And now the bitch is up to a Category 4.
WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU PEOPLE ABOUT MAKING FUN OF HURRICANE NAMES???

I'm sorry. I can't help it. After reading about the history of killer storms in the United States- and yes, I know what happened in the Northeast today in 1938- the prospect of anything cyclonic coming back to Galveston, of all places... New Orleans is in danger, yes, but the storm that struck Galveston long ago was also the stuff of nightmares.
