The deep reds have gone away (hopefully not temporarily)...

I think this is a sign of weakening....
It seems to becoming more compact - tighter and more dangerous.
Good to be home, eh?? :-)
Steve is done with school...just in the final days of finishing his thesis...it's written, he just has to spiff it up. He's looking for a job, but we sure don't want to leave Oklahoma...might have to...might end up in Texas, who knows?!
The new Walmart down the road from me had no bottled water...even here in Tulsa, people are preparing!
Bush's fault for not directing traffic.
Looking at the latest IR radar loop it kind of looks like it's weakening I think. It was really really red around the eye and now it's much less so.
Good grief! Why don't people take side roads? Accounts of people taking the freeways is "gridlock." Surely there must be other roads out of these cities. Someone on one of the Katrina thread commented that they took the backroads out and they were clear. The freeway is the LAST route I would use to evacuate.
One thing that these traffic images illustrate is how woefully inadequate our road system is.
You're right of course. Yesterday, we were two hours ahead in the knowledge of Rita going to 5; Everyone had to wait until it was official.
I have been out of Houston for several years, but freeways there are better than Dallas. San Antonio is good, but Austin is terrible.
Thank you for your prayers. That will be the worst part of this storm is the power being out and having to put up with 90 degree weather indoors.
LOL
I've wondered that too. I rarely use freeways even when traveling under normal conditions because they're so often clogged with traffic. I prefer smaller roads. Are there many alternate routes out?
Teddy's fault.
They are telling those of us out in the NW suburbs not to leave. Quite frankly, I think most of Houston is evacuating.
FNC interviewing woman in Galveston who is staying. I think she's nuts.
It looks like it is time to contraflow those roads out of Galveston and Houston but I don't think it's happened yet.
That's one, for sure, but also...
"When he [Mayfield] was named director of the National Hurricane Center in 2000, he followed in the footsteps of two other Southern Baptist laymen--Bob Sheets and Jerry Jarrell. The director before Sheets, Neal Frank, also was an outspoken Christian as well, Mayfield noted.'
"Prayer is a big part of my life," he explained, noting that his prayer is not to change God's will but to ask Him to limit loss of life and property damage."
