Trust me, I know what is going on. I've been tracking it as has everyone else. We need to be correct in our terms or misjudgements can be made.
Corpus Christi had mandatory evacuation. Now, people are turning around and going back.....same for Houston. They all hear, "Rita has turned east and is going to hit LA" so.......why should they leave? I think I might feel the same way....sit in a traffic jam for hours or go home.

As I said I think the poster was just using relative positioning terminology. It seems most people understood that "more eastward" is the same as "less westward".
