Rita's "Special Sources" Will get you for that one ;)
I have this pet theory that Mother Nature or God is following Nagin's home with hurricanes. Idiot moves to Dallas, a hurricane tries to get to him here.
Shep and Jerry are probably fighting right now on who gets to go to Galveston.
San Leon, on Galveston bay, this is looking like anther Carla, bad here but not horrible. .
My other siblings and I are discussing that very thing. He has 4 children, a very pregnant wife, and assorted dogs and cats.
Last report (which was an estimate, cause they didn't get to do the earlier flight) says it looks like winds of 140...so saying 160 is not out of the question...
Doesn't Fox have somebody in Galveston yet?
Rita's purty, but she's dangerous.
I hear you, long drive..especially when they had those cement barriers and only 2 lanes..That was mapquest quotes so it may be shorter as the crow flies.
Click this pic on the left for a Sat loop, Rita rivals any loop I saw for Katrina.

OK... It's your choice as a free citizen, but I still think you should be looking at leaving.

We should send Nagin to Mexico and see if Rita follows.

From Wikipedia:
Annular hurricanes have a large, symmetric eye surrounded by a ring of intense convection, with hardly any convection (i.e. bands) elsewhere. These types of storms are not prone to fluctuations in intensity related to the eyewall replacement cycles typically seen in intense tropical cyclones.

I was in Charlotte 6 months after Hugo, the place was still a mess, truck after truck of trees going past. You'd drive down the highway and the forest on both sides was snapped off 30 feet above the ground. Hotels full of out of state linemen.
I wish folks wouldn't give the idiot any press. We could do without it.
At least get them out of the strike path. I hear El Paso's nice this time of year.... And Texas hotels, for the most part, are providing deep, deep discounts for evacuees.
If they start now, they have more than enough time to collect everyone and get out.
What about Hurricane Boudreaux and Thibodeaux or Comeaux????
Probably one of the B-teamers (been stuck on TWC all morning).
a hurricane is just a hurricane by any other name.
