Yeah, they're pretty much in agreement that my forecast is a bust. All they're interested in is salvaging some science out of this travesty. So they're dropping lots of dropsondes. Its because of how they use them is why they name them that way.

Just so you guys know: if you can plot RAOBs you can plot dropsonde data too (you need special graph paper though).

I don't have that.

Ok, looks like the fire CNN is showing is near the Moody Center. The Moody Center is the tall building sometimes in the background.

The second fire is the Holiday Inn which is right across the street from the prison hosptial portion of UTMB.

Try KHOU (www.khou.com) or TXCN on your local cable network (comes with all cable subscriptions in TX).

She just said that their congresspeople and the ACOE have been requesting money to fix the levees, but it keeps getting denied - now they're going to have to pay big.
Perhaps if the local and/or state folks in LA didn't spend the money they rec'd for levees for casions, fountains, etc., etc. they'd be in better shape. Of course, she failed to mention they DID get a lot of $$s and what they chose to spend it on.

Yes, it looks to have been an accident. Hopefully this thread will not turn into an illegal thread, as so many do.

The only way you can tell shots aren't live is if they don't have the word "live" up - but even then they go to a split screen and there's no way to know if all the screens are live or just one of them, even though the word "live" is up.

Fox has that Heifer Blank-o on now.What,is she some authority on hurricanes now,that they need to interview her? They could at least interview Jeb Bush or Haley Barbour,two governors who didn't screw up. Heifer Blank-O just praised their Rita evacuation effort,and threw in that it went well, just as the Katrina evac effort did-WTH?? I hope for the sake of people in Rita's path in LA,that this effort is totally opposite of the LA Katrina response was.

The hero of NO, Nagin,had at last report "reported for duty" in his city of New Orleans.He's probably preparing his "spontaneous" heartfelt curse-filled speech blaming President Bush for not announcing the exact landfall of Rita 10 days ago.

I believe it is still burning based on KHOU's coverage.

That vortex data of 0300Z seems to suggest to me, someone with almost no ability in this stuff, that there could be a greatly disorganized storm hitting the coast. Is that consistent with your take? Can this significantly weaken the sustained winds in time if so?
