----"With that landfall, you can kiss the Rockefeller State Wildlife Refuge goodbye !"-----
I saw that big patch of green on the map and thought - "pretty good place to send a huricane - lot's better than Galveston". Some guy on the news said this was one of the least populated areas along the Gulf coast. Even so - hope this small towns that bear the brunt of it are mostly evacuated and can come back. (And hope the industry down there doesn't get hit too hard).
No, not at all. Since the military response will be run from that HQ, he wanted to observe first-hand. He's involved, engaged, interested in knowing how it works, will inspire the daylights out of the staff, HE IS LEADING! I guess the MSM forgot what that looks like from the Toon years. Imagine the toon or HRC having anything to do with the military? He should have dragged Blanko along to show her how its done.
I was told not to... she's been banned, ya know.
1:20 AM - Totally unofficial, but it looks here like Rita is currently making landfall near Holly Beach and Constance Beach along the Cameron Parish coast. We'll have to wait to see where and when NHC places official landfall.

Your posts speak for themselves.
I know. wish he didn't use the move-on.org person on his show, ruins it.
That is a slightly more west movement since the last report. Remember TS Allison? Flooded over a 1/3 of Houston and there was no storm surge.
ABC did a major hit piece on the unpreparedness for BOTH events tonight on 20/20.
Barge loose in the ship channel heading to 210.....
Just said they lost the casino barge for sure.

So is it 109 sustained wind speed?

FYI I'm about as far from Maureen Dowd as a person can be.
"Rita is currently making landfall near Holly Beach and Constance Beach along the Cameron Parish coast."
SCOOP!
I think you were the first!
I just now heard that on FNC.
Thank you!
There is something selfish about those that live inland to leave at the same time as those that live on the coast. For your education purpose, coastal areas receive more water, wind and damage than those that live inland.
My brother, who lives in the coastal area, left his house at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday evening. It took him 30 hours to get to his destination, which normally is a four hour drive.
If the chicken-shit selfish inland people would have waited one day, the traffic would not have been so horrible.
Wow! Thanks for posting that picture. He was lucky he wasn't closer to that tree.
So do yours - you've posted mean digs on more than 1 person tonight.
