Exactly and it was just met to hurt black people this time just like katrina. ha
Trouble is we don't know whether he's finally reacting to Katrina, or getting ready for Tammy or even Wilma. By tomorrow he won't know either.
what weather system factors will affect the steering currents related to Rita's movement through the Gulf the most?
My bad, sorry...lots of relatives right in the path
Ridge of high pressure over Texas.
Weren't the buses all ruined?
best to pull the graphic and post a link to it.
Apparently a few folks at the big sleep over in the Dome and GRB have stated that they'd much prefer NOT to go to Arkansas.
It's hard to believe they could be fixed in this short a period of time. Maybe they're talking about new buses that can be ruined when the mayor changes his mind again.
I've heard of the high pressure ridge but can that force the storm either way... NE or SW? I gather from most here that it's more likely to force the storm SW. But, I'd sure like to hear more about this.
BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yes, we already know that.
Here is some information on the water temps for the Galveston area -
From my understanding - the colder the water - the less likely that a hurricane will build up.
Also - a cold front/ridge would not hurt! It would turn away the hurricane!
**So - all of you prayer warriors, pray that it turns cold in the water and on the land at Galveston/Houston. That is where the largest refineries are in the nation!
The nation will really be in a bind for fuel if that hurricane hits Galveston/Houston!

Nagin is "importing" buses from other locations.
What is expected to cause that weakness in the high that will allow Rita to turn north at Tx?
I know the high is expected to form a gap by backing up toward DFW..and as hurricanes naturally tend north it will bump into the high until it finds that slot to go North.
Plenty of water vapor in the gulf:

I'd have thought they were ruined or in need of being cleaned and serviced first. I doubt they've been able to do much with them.
On your map there's a line from "2 AM Sat" to where Rita's supposed to come ashore. That line goes right over the top of my house!
Matter of fact, if I go out on the deck and look up, I can see it. And it's bigger than it looks on the map, I'll tell you that right now.
The reason Ophelia never got herself together is because she was churning up cooler water on the continental shelf; could that happen here?
