We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
CAT IV HURRICANE RITA ADVISORY PACKAGE #23
[NOTE: This information is drawn primarily from the NHC/TPC.]
RITA has completed an eyewall replacement cycle and maximum winds are at 140 MPH and an eye that is 40 miles in diameter. Recon aircraft noted a new wind maxiuma at 65 miles from center, so it is possible that RITA is beginning yet another eyewall replacement cycle.
Course guidance is solid through landfall and up to VT +72 hours. Landfall is predicted near Sabine Pass, TX. As RITA is again over the Loop Current, some strengthening could take place; however, shear is increasing from the south. If strengthening occurs as forecast, landfall should occur with 145 MPH winds.
After landfall, a major flooding event appears to be shaping up for Arkansas and NE Texas as RITA will likely stall near Texarkana at VT +72 hours.
Landfall is forecast for 5 AM CT tomorrow.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Also Michelle links to a NY Post story that says that NY Boys & Girls club that misused funding to support Err America, has been banned from the Boys and Girls Club Association.
I hadn't heard Shrillery is voting against Roberts. Guess she's feeling heat from the base. Maybe she'll also complain that he didn't talk about what sort of father and husband he is. Rolling eyes!
What oxygen tanks, ones that the passengers were using? I heard it was full of elderly folks...
Good morning to you all! Has anyone "heard" from Iowa Granny since her hand surgery?
Good morning!
Clouds are coming my way. Dark clouds. Moving fairly fast.
Hubby is filling containers of water. Everything else is set.

Those are three blockbuster articles, Molly, and thanks for posting them! Wes Pruden's was the most, ahem, colorful in expression (LOL!)
Thanks for the update! Posting one-handed can be tricky.

We are well. I am gonna make a run towards HEB to pick up a few more items - if they are available.
I can see towards the southeast some very high whisps of clouds that appear to be from Rita. Towards the west it is clear.
We are on the extreme edge of any cloud cover.
Hang tight & keep us posted.

When C-Span visited Wes Pruden at the Washington Times, he was not so talkative. Apparently, he reserves his 'talking' for his columns.....and boy, can he 'talk' there!
Donchathink that Cindy gave Hill some voting suggestions? har

I just heard 20 of the 45 on the bus are dead. Driver repeatedly tried to save as many lives as he could.
