Rusk County, along with all
of East Texas, could receive up
to five inches of rain before a
storm system exits the region
early next week.
It’s much needed. Earlier
this week, Rusk County com-
missioners enacted an uncondi-
tional burn ban because condi-
tions here are so dry.
That’s expected to change
somewhat, depending on how
much rain actually falls.
Heavy rain could be here as
early as this afternoon, with the
National Weather Service say-
ing there’s a 70 percent chance
of thunderstorms.
This morning, bands of
moderate to heavy rain began
moving southwest to northeast
over Rusk County. And more is
expected over the next several
days.

U.S. stocks moved sharply
higher in early trading Friday
after several big-name technol-
ogy companies reported strong
quarterly earnings. The gains
put the Standard & Poor’s 500
index back into positive ter-
ritory for the year following a
market swoon in August and
September.
The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 139 points, or
0.8 percent, to 17,628 as of
10:12 a.m. Eastern time. The
Standard & Poor’s 500 index
added 21 points, or 1.1 percent,
to 2,073. The Nasdaq, which is
heavily weighted with technol-
ogy stocks, gained 97 points, or
2 percent, to 5,017.

MANZANILLO, Mexico
— Hurricane Patricia headed
toward southwestern Mexico
Friday as a monster Category
5 storm, the strongest ever in
the Western Hemisphere that
forecasters said could make a
“potentially catastrophic land-
fall” later in the day.
Residents of a stretch of
Mexico’s Pacific Coast dotted
with resorts and fishing villages
on Thursday boarded up homes
and bought supplies ahead of
Patricia’s arrival.
With maximum sustained
winds near 200 mph (325 kph),
Patricia is the strongest storm
ever recorded in the eastern
Pacific or in the Atlantic, said
Dave Roberts, a hurricane spe-
cialist at the U.S. National Hur-
ricane Center.

That’s one of the reasons
the Carter Blood Center push-
es for donations.
“We have to see 1,100
donors a day to keep enough
blood on our shelves,” said
employee Belinda Murphy.
“Blood on the shelf lasts 42
days.
“Imagine if someone you
knew went in for surgery and
there wasn’t enough blood on
the shelf. They’d have to cancel
the surgery. That’s why it’s so
important to give blood,” she
added.
