Yes I think it is, but not nearly as much as eariler today.
Or maybe its because the sun could shine down into the eye more to show it better.
If you can ship the dogs over here, I can take care of them. (Or, is it to late?)
bttt
yeah...that was on the 545 PM update at the NHC...
we are about an hour short of an intermediate advisory, if there is going to be one, which I can't see there NOT being one.
NHC is earning it's paycheck again.
Watch for this reporter Acuna to appear again. She is being confusing. Shep had to have her repeat it. It sounds like she is saying 15- 17 feet OVER and ABOVE the sea wall.
Are they still around then? I heard on some news story last night that it was the influx of evacuees from the 1900 storm that put Houston on its way to becoming a metro area.
Thanks Rushmore, it was just very emotionally draining for me today to not be able to help more people than we could. :(
There will be an intermediate advisory at 7 pm CDT.
Okay, okay.
But, be honest now...how much beer do you have?
You have FReepmail.
I think some people who refuse to leave are in a state of shock and/or denial. Here they are living their day-to-day lives, then all of a sudden destruction is racing toward them, but until it gets there it's just an image on a radar loop and it doesn't seem real. It's hard to accept their existence is about to change drastically.
A while back on this thread, I compared staying and waiting to see if Rita would weaken to standing in front of an oncoming car and waiting to see if it'll slow down. I'll take that analogy further and compare people who refuse to leave to a deer caught in the headlights. They see the car coming at them, but they can't believe it, and they freeze instead of jumping out of the way.
They're on Mapquest now, so I'm sure they exist :-)
They're right on the border of Galveston and Brazoria Counties, on the barrier Island, SW of Galveston.
Anyway, Galveston got the right eyewall of the 1900 storm but not the center, so the measured low pressure in Galveston wasn't the lowest pressure of the storm.
Thanks! Yikes. Rita's a lot lower at the moment, right? Jeez louise.
I've been trying hard to keep up with this thread but it's moving too fast for me right now.
Would you please explain just what is meant by the above italics?
What is "mb"? What is the correlation of the 27.49 inches?
I apologize for asking these questions but perhaps somebody could give us a crash course in just what the hell all this means?
Thanks for any advice or input.
you should turn on CH2...they showed what neighborhoods will flood in the storm surge...

here you go....very large file...all the neighborhoods that may flood
should be an interesting read if they have a discussion...
the water is going to be getting warmer for the next 12-24 hours or so, and then things level off or cool a bit....
Ditto, from a former Glendalian/Burbankan...but I also keep a three pound coffee can (empty) in the trunk for peeing purposes.
Having lived on the wrong side of the collapsed Newhall Pass interchange, I spent entirely too damned many five hour standstills on the blasted 5/405/201/14 mess.
FNC's Janice Dean was saying earlier, if I understood her correctly, that there wouldn't be any radar pics from Rita while she's out in the middle of the Gulf. Radar wouldn't reach out that far?
I left the office at 3:30 and had meetings and just got back on to the thread. All you Accuweather naysayers need to say your apologies! They were brave enough to call this spade a spade hours ago(CAT 5). I'm stickin with them.
I live in NE TX. I always expect tornadoes when we have a hurricane hit the coast.
