Damn; if intensity is upheld, she'll still be a borderline Cat 4/5 36 hours from now, and roughly a Cat 4 on landfall.

That's a great, great pair of pictures.
Is the picture on the left really buses loading up people to evacuate from Rita?
If so it should be a poster

I don't think the buses going into Galveston are fake, just good people in elected authority(Galveston) doing their best to protect those they serve to get out of harms way(unlike, IMO, New Orleans).

Another picture,

"tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 175 miles."

This is what New Orleans fears most!

Sorry, forgot to source "they" - it's the folks on the EasternUS weather board that say it's 15 miles north of track.

We were also in Cancun for Emily. Where did you ride her out? That was definitely an "adventure".

Why is the traffic outgoing in only one lane?

What are you looking at?

Problem is, for the last few frames (couple of hours) the motion has been NW, maybe WNW.

I noticed that clearly as well in the satellite loop. Would guess it is just a wobble since the track maps are still converging.

I'm hoping it moves fast and gets out of Dodge, but it will do what it is going to do....

"Houston, we have a problem."

Does anyone know what NASA facilities might be in the path of the hurricane? Just curious.

It's potentially a big deal.

The new track and cone, at least on PMSNBC, showed a sliver of southwest Louisiana. I've seen the loops as well and like several others am seeing a bit of bumping north and northwest.

THANK YOU! You're wonderful.

Rita is a monster. I am stunned looking at the graphics --- she consumes almost the whole of the Gulf!

I thought buses w/o AC could not be used?

In any case, where did they find the drivers?
