As hurricane Rita bears down on the Gulf Coast, we go to Houston to speak with the staff of Pacifica Radio station KPFT - one of the few radio stations still broadcasting in the city.

It is now estimated that some 2.5 million people are in the process of fleeing their homes in the Gulf coast region of the United States, as Hurricane Rita careens towards the country. Residents trying to escape Houston, the nation's fourth largest city, crowded highways and sat in enormous traffic jams that lasted for hours. One of the few radio stations still broadcasting from Houston is Pacifica Radio's KPFT.
