The main difference between indoor and outdoor use is that for indoor use they have to make sure there's a high air/fuel ratio, in order to ensure the fuel burns completely into CO2 rather than CO. But you get more heat if you leave the air/fuel mix lean, which is better for outdoor cooking (more heating per unit of fuel) provided that you don't have to worry about carbon monoxide accumulating
Godspeed- have you signed into Howlin's Check in thread?
Sweetie pleeease be careful! Keep us posted.
NCAR is great.
I am kind of hoping it will remain at 9 until everyone gets out of Dodge. Then when it hit land I am hoping it loses steam real fast and speed up its forward mph.
Oxygen is rarely depleted in a home. We have never run out of it in our home. If it is the fire goes out. If the oxygen is too depleted, propane or not, you will die anyway.
As I stated and it cannot be refuted millions of homes run on propane.
The last frames of the loops I have seen indicate a westward "wobble". This baby could lose her steering forces before landfall.
But you still have to worry about Global Warming /sarc
There's been quite a significant westward wobble the last 1-2 hours; between last two vortex statements movement is 288 degrees, after being 304-308 degrees most of the afternoon.
It's clearly not turning more to the N yet.
PS- here is a link to a more detailed description regarding barometer adjustment:

Does this put Galveston back in play?
let me rephrase that....10 inches guaranteed, with some parts getting up to 25 inches....
they said a high pressure is forming that will stall RITA along the East Texas/West La. area...
"Brother, I'll take a 10 or 15 round semi over your revolver anytime.
Semis have been pretty good since about 1911."
Not only that but you can change magazines much faster than speed loaders.
It is 101 in San Antonio right now... I'd say that High has yet to get moving. Have to check the barometer to see if it is dropping at all.
So, the HOV lanes are ALSO kept closed, eh?
Still not reversing (even two or three) lanes in opposite side!
Gab, Best of luck in your departure, stay safe and stay calm.
The sun will shine again.

Port Arthur News link for others.

Beaumont paper link for others
National Media always tries to focus on places they can relate to the whole country, because people have either been there or heard of there..New Orleans, Houston, or Galveston (now famous because of Isaac's Storm.)
Very few people in Florida, New York, California have heard of or been to or even know where Port Arthur or Beaumont is, unfortunately.
The networks also likely didn't send reporters there, so there may be no reporting from the landfall point. Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel is currently in the process of trying to drive from Galveston to Port Arthur, but he's stuck in traffic.
There are some slight indications that Rita could even wander soutwards back over the Gulf a bit after making landfall and going inland.
Nope, 29.8 and rising. Hmmmm.... I am beginning to wonder about those more southern models now.
