Hurricane Rita Live Thread, Part III

NHC - NOAA ^ | 21 September 2005 | NHC - NOAA

[Flux Capacitor]

Oh, believe me, I understand. I was born and raised in Louisiana. I'm watching it die EVERY DAY, by a thousand not-so-little cuts that started almost a month ago. I'm watching my roots, my family, and everything I know either turned upside-down or destroyed altogether. I'm waiting expectantly for Rita vanden Heuvel to wobble eastward and destroy MY home and livelihood.

And when and if it does that, I'll still be saying the same thing.

oh oops.

Sorry......I tested it out first and it worked great. Now it just sends me to the sign-on page.

You're right, Polly, NO was utterly unique. Not a city on earth like it. Lots of cities have stupid venal corrupt city governments. Houston's isn't that great as far as that goes, this mayor is running things pretty well, but that last one, ohmygawd... he made Nagin look smart.

I too grieve for the secondlines, the smell of gumbo, the sense of history and the ghosts of the past that were sort of around you all the time. I've only been there once, but I imagine you can't really understand the city if you've only been there at Carnival.

We'll ask. We're putting ourselves at risk for the hospital when some employees are just bailing. A little accomodation can go both ways...

[NautiNurse]

thanks--will look around for more info

[steve86]

I just added a new account with no problem.

I hope you are out of the path of this monster. The pictures of it show a rapidly-perfecting eye, which is a sign of strength!

[fishntex]

This is what they have right now.

Thank you, all the crap is making it hard to keep up with the thread and its mostly garbage. And its my life too.

[johnb838]

And Fox isn't covering anything but a potential plane crash.

[steveegg]

Advisory 17a has been corrected to reflect the conversion of pressure between 898 mb to inches of mercury (it should be 26.52 inches, not the 26.55 inches originally reported). Also corrected, the time of the eye fix on the last Vortex Data Message (changed by a few monites from 2313Z to 2309Z - 6:0* pm CDT/7:09 pm EDT).

Since neither correction is not substantial, I won't be reposting either.

[Flux Capacitor]

I will, thanks. :)

I've seen claims that Slidell did have sustained Cat 5 winds

I have as well, and once in the Mobile Press Register, but I can't find the dang story. That was the only reference I saw and it said sustained at 174 mph and gusts 190?. If it wasn't there then I heard it on the radio from a NOLA station I could pick up in MS that was constant around the clock talk radio and storm/recovery info (maybe krock - not sure).

Now it just sends me to the sign-on page.

That's what I got when I tried it.

[Prolifeconservative]

Okay.....you can't come in here and mention "Steve Lyons, stall, moving North" and not add anything more. That's too much suspense and drama ;>))

[CindyDawg]

Most definately.

[Lazamataz]

Please do what you can to prepare for this thing! It ain't a joke! You have a way to evacuate?

[steveegg]

That's more immediate. Rita won't be making landfall until Friday.

Speaking of reporting, TWC's Storm Jumper Jim Cantore is in Seabrook, Texas.

[RDTF]

Steve are looking at Storm2k?

[abb]

cantore in seabrook, tx. where's that?
