From Jeff Masters:

http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/show.html

" [two key computer models] forecast that Rita will make landfall near Galveston, penetrate inland between 50 and 200 miles, then slowly drift southwestward for nearly two days, as a high pressure ridge will build in to her north. Finally, a second trough is forecast to lift Rita out of Texas on Tuesday. If this scenario develops, not only will the coast receive catastrophic damage from the storm surge, but interior Texas, including the Dallas/Fort Worth area, might see a deluge of 15 - 30 inches of rain. A huge portion of Texas would be a disaster area. The models are not suggesting this at all, but is also possible that Rita may not make landfall on Saturday as expected, but pull up just short of the Texas coast and pound it for days as it waits for the next trough to pick her up. We'll have to wait for the next set of model runs due out by tomorrow morning to know better."

Please folks....PRAY, pray like never before! Lord Jesus, please father God, subside this horrible storm. You are all powerful and can do anything. At your command, Lord, the waters bow. Please have mercy and command the storm to cease! Have Mercy heavenly Father!

Greta on Fox just now saying "but just a small turn to the north could devastate New Orleans. Stay tuned..."

She's clueless. Going to Houston tomorrow to wait it out. Hope her hair gets straightened.
