Yep, saw that too.
I really hate to say this, but best case would be for it to follow roughly in Katrina's track, because it will just be re-arranging the rubble in a lot of cases that way. It would be brutal for the people in the region, but would have the least impact on the economy that way.
THANK YOU!
Yep, the possibilities are all over the place. Ridge could move faster, stuff could also be coming in from the west faster than expected to prevent any northward movement(which would be back to a near straight-line move into a Corpus-Brownsville area.)
Should probably know by Wed.

No! No! No!
*closes eyes, puts fingers in ears*
No! No! No!
I agree.
Ain't that a kick in the head? The city's in ruins and he moves his family out of state and is not around for a couple of days at a stretch.
And then has the nerve to rip into the guy who's probably doing 20-hour days trying to deal with all the state and local screw-ups on this matter.
Nagin, go back to your family in Texas. And stay there. The people of the region would be better served if there WAS a new mayor.
Isn't he up for reelection in February?
Forty five years ago when i was a kid, there were "blank spots" along the gulf coast. Hurricanes had a chance to hit areas that were thinly populated. Not any more.
Whoa.
What's the situation after the storm passes?
I'm due to fly to Naples, Fla., on the west coast, on Wednesday for work (outdoors) on Thursday and Friday.
Will this prevent that?
The last real huricane to hit the upper Texas coast was Carla, another Carla would be horrible. A Carla hitting just west of Galveston would be a Sunami of horribles.
Another year like the past two and paradise to me is gonna be the Midwest!!!
I remember Carla. IIRC, it's where Gunga Dan got his first big break.
Nagin's comments are ridiculous. What an pompous ass he is.
We had snow here in Galveston area last winter, all the old timers say snow in the winter, huricane in the summer. We shall see if there is anything to this folk lore.
No.

Says ridge will not move fast enough...continues with a N. Mex./S. TX hit.
FWIW, the GFDL is also forecasting Rita to turn into a CAT 5 monster in the Keys by tommorrow (ala the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane)....so you'll know soon if the model is onto something or out of its mind (likely the latter).
