"Not according to the weather channel guy I just heard on the radio. Still Cat 5 at 175, gusts to 200."I heard that at 5:00 AM EST then around 6:00 some guy on the radio said it was down to 150. For all I know he was reading a wire report from yesterday.
It does appear from the current forecast it will start to weaken and continue to do so, hopefully they'll be correct.

Houston are going to get a chance to see if they can do any better than Louisiana did, because it sure looks like they're going to get tested.We will amaze you. Houston ain't NOLA.

It is beginning to look like the evacuation problems may be the Achilles heel here. Hours on the highway and running out of gas with cars breaking down. Not good< We are expecting 6 evacuees from Houston sometime today. They leave at 11am (central)and we doubt we'll see them before 8pm. Usually it's a 3-4 four hour drive.

My son is stuck in all the traffic and he is freaking out. I don't think he knows the backroads. Hasn't been in Houston all that long. Do you know of any alternative routes tht might work?

Not sure, but we had a huge tornado go right through downtown Nashville in 1998. At the time The Titans' stadium was under construction. The cranes were all destroyed.

My friend in Houston told me yesterday that the roads are all jammed. Galveston is virtually deserted. Getting ready to call her now.

I heard that at 5:00 AM EST then around 6:00 some guy on the radio said it was down to 150. For all I know he was reading a wire report from yesterday. Fox news has been reporting this a.m. that there are gusts up to 212mph with sustained winds at 170-something. Only time will tell.

The good news is that this event should be more like Mississippi and not Louisiana.
We can bank on Texans in general being tough with politicians that won't cry.

Thanks Jim,
Be safe, my family just left in a three car convoy headed for Ft Worth by way of Waco. I gave them good maps to stay off any main road before they hit College Station, and all the cars are full.

The Navy ships assisting in N.O. relief all left port over the last few days, to get out to open sea, where they can ride the storm out safely. They don't go up the river, they go out to sea. And they have done that. They are pros.

I thought that those Pooper Coopers would float??!!??
It was 100F yesterday and the same is planned for today.
Just saw on the news that Rita has adjusted focus to hit Galveston dead on.
