The store staff should have been a bit more polite. Remember all the partiers in the FQ in NO that looked like fools in retrospect? A hurricane is a hurricane, and cat 1's can kill too. It just takes one tornado, ya know.

I also like Dan Meador at KHOU...
Looking at the latest satellite, I think the center of circulation is AGAIN forming north of where they thought they had the fix. I think this storm is going to be quickly larger and farther north than expected. Florida will be very quickly under the gun.
People will not evac east...we'll go north, west, northwest.
As General Honore says, we're not all stuck on stupid here. Southwest Louisiana isn't NOLA. .
LOL...isn't that the truth. 3-star Honore' is a breath of fresh air. He sure says it like it is...He gets real not allowing all the crapola the MSM puts out there. I was told by the military, Honore' hit the ground cussing. He couldn't believe what he saw on the ground when he first arrived.

He does what Rummy did to the MSM with just a little more flavor to the words. The MSM is so dense they need the likes of Honore to 'splain things to them. I loved it when one of the nattering nabobs was whining that they could get into the area why couldn't the military? That spate of honesty was so refreshing. I don't know if there is a clip online or not but Honore let that reporter have it good. :D
I remember living in San Antonio when either Alicia or Allison hit the Houston area.(can't remember now which one it was) Quite a number of people had evacuated to San Antonio. Whichever storm it was, San Antonio was in the path of some of the remnants. We had a tornado damage a small portion of the VA hospital there. Don't get many tornadoes in San Antonio.
Well...not to be alarmist or anything...My neighbor across the street has a brother in law that woprks at AccuWeather. He just called me and said their forecast which is about 15 minutes old hasd Rita doing an "explosive intensification" as it approaches the Florida Keys. Says a Cat 4 as it nears Key West.
Here I sit on Sugarloaf key, 17 ,iles north of Key West.
Take it with a grain of salt, but this could be the worst storm to hit the Keys in decades according to this guy at Accuweather.
Bye for now, got preparations to take care of.
Mandatory evac now up for the Keys. I'm going to hang in here, hopefully I'm not making a mistake.
That massive intensification thing jibes with what I'm seeing on the satellite as this morning unfolds. The 11:00 NHS update should be enlightening.
Jeb Bush on Fox now.
NHS = NHC
Git yer preps done, and git north ASAP. I think she's gonna bomb out west of the Keys, but you never know. It would be prudent to evacuate. It's gonna be nasty in the Keys regardless of whether she bombs before or after passing.
Talk about light and day between him and BlanK0. It does matter who you elect. I've been rubbing that in to my lib dem sister. Bobby Jindal would have been like Jeb. Calm, reassuring and knows what the hell to do in a crisis.
