[No Blue States]

"There are worse things than having ZZ Top going through your head and eating your way across a state at Dairy Queens (White Castle comes to mind). :-)"

Cause we bad, were nationwide.

DFW may get more rain than even we want:

"POST-RITA WX A BIT OF A TOSS-UP. GFS CALLING FOR THE REMNANTS OF RITA TO STALL OVER NTX FOR ABOUT 24-30 HRS BEFORE SLOWLY PULLING OFF TO THE NORTH. CAN'T REALLY ARGUE TOO MUCH WITH THIS AS ECWMF ALSO HINTING AT A SIMILAR SCENARIO.."

YIKES---

My house in Arlington, isn't anywhere near being a flood plain...have never had water go higher than the gutter in the street...

I HAVE seen Lake Arlington get really high though...it is a mile or so from my house.. I am counting on the fact that our lack of rain has probably had the lake levels so low this year...that none of the lakes around here would flood...

I have a daughter with Marine Creek Lake as her backyard, though...do you know if that lake has ever gone over its banks???

Local Orlando's WFTV Chief Meteorologist, Tom Terry said just now he thinks it will hit land at 135mph and will not maintain its strength. He said it is over the warmest waters right now.

Anyone know what might happen to it after the 5-day track, or have links to computer models that go past 5 days?
