 IMMEDIATE RITA EVACUATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 Someone on a previous thread commented on how this was a hundred mile wide tornado. That's not so far off base.
This is the Fujita scale;
Zero (F0) Weak 40-72 mph
One (F1) Weak 73-112 mph
Two (F2) Strong 113-157 mph
Three (F3) Strong 158-206 mph
Four (F4) Violent 207-260 mph
Five (F5) Violent 260-318 mph


This storm is equivalent to an F3 tornado.
I hope people are listening THIS time.

 HURRICANE RITA INTERMEDIATE ADVISORY NUMBER 20A
 
 Rain from Rita begins falling in New Orleans

Tropical Watch and NHC Models for Google Earth - contains 4 NHC storm forecast models, 3 updated satellite images, and a ton of analytical diagrams overlayed on Google Earth.

US High-res National Radar from NSSL/U.ofOkla. National high-resolution (1 km) radar reflectivity mosaic, updated once every two minutes. Note that there are no radar sites in the middle of the gulf, so until the storm nears land and the sites that are there, you won't see much on this radar.

Here's a composite I just did which combines both of the dynamic data layers listed above and overlays them on Google Earth.

 Oil Prices Surge as Hurricane Rita Nears -- did you see the nat gas prices? $12.81 at last check. No wonder why the envirowhackos want all power to be natural gas; then there will be rolling blackouts from supply disruptions.

Make a mobile 4 to 8 pump system that connects to a fuel semi and park it at a rest stop or on the shoulder and let people fill their tanks without leaving the highway ...
 
 Fox news has reported that the military is using gas tank trucks in designating areas along the highway for folks who run out of gas...don't ask me how they'll do it! That's what the reporter said! Military type gas tank trucks, like the ones used in Iraq
