I just saw the weather guy on MSNBC....

He is predicting it will hit SW LA. about 9:00 AM on Sat...

and that EAST Texas will get some rain, but Dallas area won't get ANY rain at all!!!

And he shows the hurricance just hitting and then disappearing over east Texas and the middle of LA...then, just gone...

I am amazed...I am not going to say that I wanted a hurricane, oh, no I didn't....but I have to say that I will be disappointed if we don't even get a drop of rain, here in the DFW area...

Ummm.... WTF?

I had heard that same prediction earlier this evening, more for east TX and SW LA, less for Galveston directly.

But I thought I was gathering here that folks were concerned it'd turned back west back toward Galveston again.

It's awful to be so dry you'd take rain from a hurricane, isn't it. I know just what you mean, folks in the area I am now are soooo dry, they'd take it from practically any source.

I have a feeling there might be a few drops at least. Rita has a mind of her own...right now she's turning westward.

Are you kidding me? No rain at all?

That's not what The Weather Channel forecast says.

I thought the damned thing was supposed to stall out over the eastern half of the state and drop 25 inches?
