What are the chances that Rita will actually hit where they predict this far out? Isn't it actually a good sign that she's pointing to me now? Doesn't that mean she will likely point at someone else by the time she gets over this way?

My Mom was in Pasadena and did fine during Alicia except for some roof damage. She never even lost electric, and we were hammered in Houston proper (Hwy 59/Hilcroft back then).

I think you are right. These things never seem to go where predicted this far out.

How bad would Pearland get? We could go stay with our friends there.

Fortunately I've been well inland for all the hurricanes I've seen, but I do have this strange desire to ride out a Cat 5 hurricane on the beach in one of those round, concrete 'hurricane-proof' houses. =)

Then again, the record high hurricane surge ever recorded was 42ft..

The NHC was very close with Katrina 3 days out. My opinion is the 3 day NHC forecasted track can be counted upon more than any other source Ive found. Katrina:

The weather pattern that will guide Rita to landfall isn't particularly complicated, so the 5-day forecast might be more reliable than usual.

But if Rita speeds up or slows down as it moves across the Gulf, then that could change the eventual landfall dramatically. Of course, our good news is someone else's bad news, so we'd have to temper our roars of approval.

My side of town survived Allison, but if things turned for the worse I would definitely be looking for higher ground.

Nagin has delayed his press conference.....it will now be held at either 3:00 or 3:30. Glad to see he is still consistently indecisive.

URGENT...Hurricane RITA may be Katrina part 2..Keys in Trouble... Buy gas now

Posted on 09/19/2005 12:10:40 PM PDT by janetjanet998

system rapidly exploding now....huge storm area wise...will likley be a high end Cat 3 when it hits the lower Keys...then a Cat 4 in the gulf later and it turns north towards the huge oil fields off the Texas/LA coasts...may not hit New orleans directly but models are shifting closer each run and they are now in the "cone"...may get at least some storm surge into the lake and heavy rain there...not good with weakened levee and parts of the city still flooded http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1487450/posts

The last thing you want to do is panic and cause a gas shortage.

Maybe he can go get everybody in his buses. Then he turn right around and send them back out ahead of Rita.

humor break:

Rita looks like another case where we will be waiting and watching for that predicted northern turn as with Katrina.

Whenever I am told by anyone not to panic and not to rush out to buy gas, my internal bs meter tells me to panic and rush out to buy gas.

"Time to get the dome ready for Rita."

I bet many wont go there after what happened at the Superdome. But I agree, get ready now.
