Hi, Peach - I think I-45 and I-10 but not 290 - needed for emergency vehicles. Last I heard if I recall correctly.
That means I used to live up the street from *you* on Palmetto. I liked to walk down Chelsea to my friends' house on Pine. Pretty street.
I see a lot of land that would make a great city park!
Volunteer are passing out water in the Houston area for folks trying to evac. They are using metro buses. Hot damn. The officials in Texas know how to manage stuff. I'm impressed!
6.48 miles, perpendicular, off the 1700 track. Three and change an hour ago.
Both westing.
Not sure the waters are all that cooler at the coast. It has been abnormally HOT in south Texas for late September. In the 95-105 degree range all week.
Thanks - I have been praying hard for 3 days straight that Rita will at least drop to a "3"
His question about why they would foam a runway last night was the ultimate. Couldn't believe it when he said he'd never heard of such a thing.
Yes. I-45 went contraflow around 2:00 and, just now on CNN, the traffic is running at the speed limit (65 mph). So the congestion is cleared up.

One of my favorite clips from the book about SWELLS (explained).
A graphic, step by step explanation of WHAT IS A HURRICANE?
That's not a good sign (VRWCTexan, you might want to ask jeffers that question).
28 mi
Total SWAG here - But I will say 20-25 NM eye if she does not start another ERC. Going to stick with my earlier 140 MPH wind prediction, but my Cameron Parrish, LA call is starting to look iffy. I am beginning to think Larry Cosgrove and Joe Bastardi may be on to something and that a Galveston-Port Arthur solution is becoming more likely. HOwever, I will stick with my LA call even though I am starting to have my doubts.
Also taking on board the buses anyone stranded along the highways
My brother and I crawled into our snowmobile suits and hiked up to a local hangout, some modular homes, the kind you stack up with a crane, furnished and abandoned.
We were the only ones there.
Early this evening I-45 was in contraflow mode at least as far up as Buffalo!
That all being said, I'm trying right now to find a GFDL model output -- I found a 48-hours-to-go model chart for Katrina from that model that was EXACTLY right. Unfortunately, Accuweather's site is whacked right now.
I honestly don't know.
I don't gamble unless I'm "the house".
