Thanks for the info, jj. CAT 5 - then what? Is there some upper limit where physics prevents further intensification?
The forecast I am getting is high winds, lots of rain, and the potential for many tornados. The Arboretum is in NW Austin. That area is more elevated, away from the coastal plain and hence more protected from tornado activity that the area to the east of town.
Geat pictures...thank you!!!

That's true about the hotel rooms. I have a friend who is a travel agent and I was helping her answer phones yesterday. There wasn't anything available until somewhere north of Dallas which is probably Oklahoma now, or west being New Mexico.
For some reason Janet gets beat up on these threads - but her info is very accurate
Historically-speaking, I presume. I wouldn't count on it to hold up though.

I live outside of Austin. Email me and I'll be glad to help. Just tell your son to keep up with the local news and they'll guide him in the right direction.
Ah...AODT; that's purely computer-based.
NHC isn't going to upgrade based on that with 2 of the 3 agencies with the human-performed ones at T 6.0, and I presume TAFB similar.
OMG
Sounds like good advice. We can't leave ourselves until probably Friday morning. I still have three more huge (partially diseased) trees to cut down near my house as they are prime candidates to come down in a hard blow. I live on acreage in an area with tons of trees, beautiful and shady any other time.
I have others within striking distance of the house but they appear to be pretty hardy and should hold up pretty well.
Thanks for the page references, I didn't even think of it.
Also, I made a special trip out around 0400 for 30 gallons of regular at $2.63 per. Might not be a bad idea to keep the tank full this week.
1) Everything of that nature needs to be sourced.
2) People need to understand the nature of what they're looking at.
Is that ever true, can I borrow that?
Fox just had a clip on Dr. Gray who does the seasonal hurricane prediction out of Colorado. He says Rita is one nasty storm. "It is trouble, with a capital "T".
Also, I have a sister in League City and would appreciate links to local hurricane coverage. I'd like to know what my sis and her family are in for. They have a place in Trinity also and am not sure where that is.

FYI - This will give folks some idea of where all the oil rigs in the GOM are located. - OB1
