The MAGNITUDE of this storm has to be respected;Bastari on FOX. The damage potential is enormous.
I don't remember the sn's but I do remember that we got some freepers that live ON Galveston bay arround San Leon and Baycliff. Any news from those folks?
Did he mention the possibility of Rita going back out in the gulf?
LOL - did you check out Pookie18's Today's Toon post??

It's loaded with good ones this morning
BOOM!
"I just heard the local Accuweather guy say it is very possible that this storm stall and goes back out into the gulf again!"
Was it Joe Bastardi from Accuweather? (by the way, Joe Bastardi is Italian for 'Joe Bastard')
I met Lesko years ago after one of his first books....
Ck out the water vapor loop. You'll see the dry air being sucked into Rita. Houston local weather guy on KHOU continues to show Rita sucking the dry air into her. Pressure continues to rise in her. She's weakening and will continue to. She's so strong but any weakening is a blessing.
But, the important question, do they sell beer?
Don't look at Bastardi, just listen and you will learn something.
Sorry to ask for old news. I saw a link to the Beaumont police scanner last evening at home, now at work and cannot find the link. Would someone be so kind as to ping me with that link?
Thanks much.
Thought for the day: Who will be the first liberal to accuse Bush of racism for taking care of the people in Texas better than the people of New Orleans?
Even better news.
The 0700 position puts Rita just 4500 feet SW of the 1700 track, and northEAST of the 2300 track.
The further north and east, the better for Houston.

I am not aware of any. Most of the ones I recognize are Houston area. I looked under the 'Rita' link, but did not see the check-in thread. There were over 400 posts on it yesterday.
I have this if it helps.. http://www.weatherserver.net/hurricanecenter/
Regarding "MAGNITUDE of this storm has to be respected"
MSM need to keep away from the Cat 3 vs Cat 4 vs Cat 5 as if they represented discontinous breaks in intensity or landings up a high rise.
It is a continuous ramping up of speed and force. For example, it would be better to think of an "almost a Cat 5" as a Cat 4.99 rather than a Cat 4.
And they need to hammer home the fact that if you are in the way of anything over a Cat 3, KYAGB
