latest Rita news ping
Honore as press secretary. I like it! That White House press corps needs a good disciplinarian. They're terrible!
Manufactured by Hush-a-Boom, Ltd. (a subsidiary of Halliburton, Inc.)
The Frat humor is appreciated and yes, she is hot!
Nice to have you with us. After the storm is gone, stick around & visit the threads (we do a "little bit" more here than weather coverage!)
the nws radar last frame seems to show the eye not perfectly round anymore...

Puh-leeze.
Floyd "fizzled" to a Cat 2 at landfall.
Still caused 4.6 billion in damage and killed 56 people.
Rita will still cause major storm surge along the coast and the inland flooding could well be worse than what we saw with Floyd.
And if Rita had remained a strong Cat 4, it would have killed just about anyone remaining along the coast.
It LOOKS like her eye is closed. But I dont see it moving due north like somebody else said.
The Walmart on 75 in North Dallas is selling out of two things - drinking water and shotgun shells.
Local Krogers are selling water as fast as they can restock it.
I was skimming the thread..thought it read so far 4' in my garage...Whew!!!!
I think the NHC has been saying for a few days that Rita may be downgraded to a Category 3 before landfall.
The due north I think may be a wobble, counting on what I saw last on satellite loop, but it seems to be sucking in a lot of dry air...but at the same time, the se is doing beautiful...she's going to carry a lot of umph still when she goes in.
36hrs ago she was a CAT5 with 175MPH winds and no apparent shear headed for the Central Texas coast. She was Katrina part 2 in every sense of the word. She had pressure reading down near Gilbert range. Hurricanes aren't an exact science by any measure.
Go to www.weather.com and type in the city you want.
Just below it is an hour by hour forecast.
That should tell you what you need to know.
There were several folks on the earlier threads praying, and speculating that this thing would go up to LA and fizzle. Don't remember exactly who. You can bet yer sweet bippy they will re-appear if this hits LA at trop storm strenght or less!
That reporter was David Gregory of NBC per Rush Limbaugh who is playing it right now.
We need to start chanting 'fall apart, fall apart'
I'm looking at the radar link on post 14; to my totally untutored eye, it looks like half the hurricane is gone; south/southeast of the eye, I see nothing but blue (clear sky?). It lools like half a hurricane, not the huge round swirl we've been seeing for four days.
