The last of Rita

I am among the fortunate in that I feel I have felt the last of Rita. True, I have a small tree down in my yard, but that is nothing. My mother's power was off until 6 tonight from 7:30 Saturday morning. I could not get her out of her house to stay with me or my brother, even though we had power. I finally called TXU this afternoon and they said not until Tuesday for that street. I explained I had a sick and elderly mother who refused to leave her home. I can't tell if that helped or not, but I did find out there was an elderly man alone on the same street who was also refusing to leave.
