Katrina ran into the cooler waters dumped from the Mississippi River. There is NOT a big river to chill Rita as she barrels into Texas.
Did they clear out some cells for the evacuees???? lol
Actually, I wonder if there is a jail on Galveston or thereabouts that is having to be evacuated???
I heard up here, there are two shelters in Tarrant County area (Ft. Worth)..in Burleson Community Center or something, and an unused jail...lol
WHOA that Great Lakes jobber heading for our house.

There's basically nothing to turn Rita for a while. I see why some are thinking she might get blocked in and stall over Texas. Meanwhile, I see the forward motion is down a bit. Interesting (noted, but I have no theories).
No, but they do seem to like canals, rivers, and that sort of thing...
Tip, if you're counting cyclones.
how much longer will Rita be over the deep trough?
Once she clears that area, I don't think she'll strengthen any more do you?
the best time to leave would probably be about 0400 AM, when traffic will be the lightest.
LOL---Not if it is the Dallas Cowboy kicker...sigh...
NHC predicting strengthing to 180 mph within the next 12 hours, and that it will "slow" down to 155 mph, still a Category 5, at landfall..
Incredible!
That may give the people more time to get out, but if he doesnt speed up after it hits they are going to have to put up with F3 force winds for a long time.
Good for reducing the strength but increase the chance of flooding.
BTW, while I'm thinking about it... That's a really cool thing you did by offering your home for people to stay. For the hundredth time, I'm sorry for my comments years ago. I was wrong.
It's down to 9 MPH now.
I really like Khristine...
but, actually for explaining things, Steve McCauley on Channel 8, is the best...he gets really excited about what is happening and explains it in layman's terms..
ONE box of Little Debbies? That's just enough to make you angry. Good thing you've got beer and ammo to calm you down.
Bastardi throws around the term "worried" left and right, so it's making a pseudo-forecast without actually making a forecast; if the "worry" happens, then he'll brag about having "called" it, if it doesn't happen, well, he wasn't actually FORECASTING something, he was just WORRYING about it, and nobody really remembers.
Bastardi has been "worried" this year about such things as:
1) Dennis hitting New Orleans
2) Ophelia entering the Gulf of Mexico
As a couple of examples.
Where did you hear that?
Contraflow will be implemented soon. It's already been implemented on some highways, just not 10 or 45 because of vehicles coming in to get people out.
Your dingbat gov kept turning contraflow on and off as she remembered and forgot about people trying to get in to get people out.
Happy Birthday!!!!!
