As everyone has probably guessed, it's best to assume all Southeast Texas scheduled events could have been cancelled. I'd highly suggest calling to confirm the events before going to the locations.I've been posting images on my other blog and will concentrate on it until at least Nov. 15. I'll get back to this blog around then.Many new blogs have been created since Hurricane Rita hit our area.

Hi everyone,We're alive. I'm very busy with the daily assignments shooting the destruction caused by Hurricane Rita. The Beaumont Enterprise set up a blog, Rita's Images, to post photos taken by citizen journalists.

It looks like Beaumont may be spared a direct hit by Hurricane Rita. However, the low-lying areas are likely to experience some severe flooding from storm surge. Voluntary and mandatory evacuations are taking place in the next county down the coast. Chambers, Jefferson and Orange counties (the greater Beaumont area) should expect interruption of electricity and phone services.Southeast Texas

I got tangled up in Hurricane Katrina when one of my bosses started his blog Under the News. I listed it as an "irregular blog" since he didn't have much posted at the time. Since then, he's been posting up a storm. He's moved into the "almost daily" category. I'm considering bumping him up to the daily category because he's posting several times per day.Check out his blog. Note: Since we work at
