"Rita has stopped wobbling, leveled off and is now bearing down on Galveston again"
That is what I thought too.
Check this 12 hour loop, the last few frames really show it turning west.

Problem is that's drawn as a 35 mile diameter eyewall, and the latest vapor image looks more like it's up to 40 now. It's already too doggone close to Galveston Bay, and even slight westing at this point will make a significant difference in surge effects.
Anyone hear from Jesse Jackson ,yet ,to see in what way the Black Man is being kept down during the Rita crisis?
OK, thanks! I really appreciate your dedication and knowledge on these threads!
Water is usually the big killer. It's easier to get in a 'bunker' and survive wind. If the water gets to you, it can be very difficult to manage.... especially with massive surge.

Came through fine. House is fine, big trees down on the fences, all my neighbors lost all or some of their roofs, not me. The window AC unit I bought just for this occasion would not run off the generator. Ran the generator for lights and fans...had similar expeiences with getting gasoline. I've just gotten my place back in shape.
Glad to hear you came through okay.
You deserve an honorary meteorology degree after this summer.
I give that an amen..... Nauti Nurse is the BEST!!!!
Thank you.

[this is what amazes me - Police trying to help with rescue and they have to deal with crap like this instead - petty criminals thinking this is their big chance]
No rain here yet.
Conroe has a lot of pine trees. Falling trees is probably the biggest danger there.
Looks that way right now, along with Sabine Pass and Port Arthur. Surge gets a LOT uglier when it has somewhere else to go after it runs up on land, besides back the way it came. That sustained flow breaks things.

Larry Cosgrove is a meteorologist from the northeast. He has a daily newsletter that covers the whole nation, and goes out to about 10k people. He also posts over at the weather board I help run. I met him this year, and have always enjoyed his thoughts.
Amen to that.
Yes. It is good news that the traffic is moving much quicker. With the storm slowing down and the traffic speeding up then I am more hopeful that those who want to get out will be able to do so.
It will take about 8 inches of rain to fill up the cracks in my yard. I'm NE of Dallas.
Will Sean let him finish a point? Sean just can't let him finish anything w/o butting in. He did that on the radio today, I was hollering "Sean, STFU" and let hin finish. But that's just me.
Yeah - if it hits ANY point to the SW of Galv. Bay, Houston is toast from surge.... never mind the winds.
Thank you and same to you!
