Top 10 Frustrations that I Experienced during Hurricane Rita Evacuation...

1) no lights, hot water or air conditioning
2) fallen trees all over the place
3) traffic jams from hell (took us 19 hours to get from Beaumont to Austin....grrrrr!)
4) no available gas stations (and when you did find one, you had to stay in line for about an hour)
5) stress/disagreements among relatives
6) malfunctioning cell phones
7) not being able to go see any damage at my apartment for a week and a half
8) having to use the bathroom in the woods....at night (long story)
9) the police [don't ask ;-)]
10) no restaurants/grocery stores

* For real, it was a very humbling experience (and I shouldn't complain too much because it could've been a lot worse...God guides).
