so far so good
Spoke with my mom a couple of hours ago -- everything seems to be ok. She even has electricity. Still raining and windy, but nothing severe. The only thing to still worry about is flooding -- if Rita stalls and dumps a ton of rain. Many thanks to everyone who expressed concern and warm wishes!
Apparently some people are still stranded on the highways, and there's no gas to be found anywhere. I'm so thankful she didn't try to leave.
Why on earth they (whoever they are) didn't open all freeway lanes to outbound traffic from the get go is beyond me -- and will hopefully be the subject of some kind of investigation. Though I doubt, of course, that anyone will really be held accountable for anything.

Glad she's fine and that the excessive precautions weren't necessary. Good thing she didn't get stuck in the traffic, too!
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts, Jodi! Needless to say, I've been breathing sighs of relief all week . . . :)
