They're still working on putting together the discussion for Rita. Neither the NHC nor Weather Underground has the 10 pm up yet.
Thanks! That's a tad more into Louisiana than the last one I saw and, if accurate, clobbers Houston to Beaumont. What do these things do... naturally gravitate to the most populated areas?
I wonder how many people will run out of gas on the highway while trying to evacuate.
He was wild-eyed, boisterous and in-your-face revolting about W. I cannot stand what he's turned into .. as if W could've turned on a dime on Saturday night and gotten a state of insurrection declared to allow in the Feds in time to evacuate the helpless. He's gone around the bend.
Watching KPRC, they're talking about contraflow, and saying that it will NOT be used in this case. I can't believe it...
Hey, we can go for bits/bytes/bps, Cisco, Cat5(5e, 6), DTE/DCE....subnet....
Hey, who you callin' a weeny? (I'm female...I don't have one...grin.)
The swiss cake rolls, of course. They were $1.09 a box for like the last 20 years.....went up to $1.19 just recently.
Two different measures of strength :-)
That's not a good sign...
These things need warm water and an exhaust. They are basically heat engines.
Katrina weakened because it moved too slowly, eating up the energy in its vicinity and clogging up its exhaust pipe with its own fumes.
If Rita keeps moving along, it will not weaken.
Two of them were 2 hours old or more. The wind went up to 40 on one then nothing, the other I saw was less than that.
Thanks (blush), Lorraine! Still, I'm not nearly as creative these new parents, including some recent arrivals from the New Orleans area:
Alexandria Town Talk Birth Announcements
Hurricane namers take note!
He showed them in a hallway...and one was in a hospital bed....they all had sheets on them....but it was a shock to see.
We can only hope the extra day of evacuation was enough to get everyone out.
That would stop the flow of buses and trucks heading down to get people out.
We still have around 48 hours before this thing hits - they'll go contraflow soon.
OMG
He's right, Laz. I was out to Walmart a few hours ago and you just would not believe the traffic. We didn't even bother going to church, which is just down the road. It would have taken at least an hour to get there.
No, we'll have to be all prepared to leave, and then if it turns towards us and IF my folks change their mind and agree to leave, we'll leave and drag 'em along behind us.
Dang! We need that giant sucking sound from Mexico to kick in about now.
Ya know what - they are all good, but the price is the best part
