Yes we're all pregnant with a drama queen named Rita. Labor pains anticipated Friday evening/Saturday morning.

Ok so if she lands at the Tx/La border, we're looking at t/s force winds in New Orleans with NE quadrant outter rain bands and possible tornadoes.. right? Someone please tell me I'm wrong. I have family in trailers in Slidell.

I just hope it keeps moving north at landfall rather than sitting for days and soaking the Mississippi basin...

Fox banner was just saying Rita was headed for LA.....so why are all those people on the highway still heading north from Houston? I'd turn around and go home.

"......Google Earth shows the elevation as 3 feet, by the way."

The 3 foot elevation for most of that area is probably correct. The town of High Island sets on top of that one high point - the salt dome - that is 38 foot high.

Can anyone explain why we see terrible congestion on the outbound lanes and yet the inbound are not being reversed to eliminate this traffic (contraflow)? I've seen and heard several reports from people who have turned back because they can't get out of town.?????????

LoL Reminds me of last night driving home on the motorcycle. It started raining and my damn visor fogged up. Talk about driving by braille.. I just kept hoping and praying nothing was in the road.

There is a high pressure ridge that is moving east, a little earlier and faster than they expected...Weather is dynamic, and doesn't always do what the models predict.

Just about everybody that came out with a 3-5 day forecast yesterday or earlier will eat crow, I bet.

Yup.

Most T'storm systems peak around 4 to 6 pm, several hours after peak heating.

Hurricanes, because of their size, take even longer to react. I think a lot of what we are seeing right now is a reaction to the sun going down, last night.

Is it a coincidence that ERC's take 12 to 24 hours?

Jeffers doan like coincidences.
