Remember, Katrina was supposed to hit the upper Florida coast, no where near NO. I live in Houston and I am filling gas cans today. Any one who lives on the Gulf coast needs to be prepared and not wait untill the last minute to see if it is going to turn.

Katrina had a much different situation. The early projections for Florida panhandle landfall were based on an expected weakening of a ridge, which basically failed to weaken.

The confidence level of the front headed toward Texas right now and making it through in time to protect everyone west of Florida is about as close to 100% as you can get.

That doesn't mean that everyone else can simply not follow future forecasts and assume that this is a Ft. Meyers/Miami storm. Any time a hurricane is in the Gulf, everyone has to pay attention. But it should be a gorgeous weekend in Houston with a high only in the 70's. That front will already be offshore protecting us from Wilma.

:::sigh::: me too!!!
still packed from Rita. Rita was a wierd storm. The cold front that was suppose to make it in didn't and caused that turn to Tx/La border. Also, damage on the west side of that storm was odd... more damage to Livingston than to Mansfield.

You are correct. I'm sitting on ready over here, thanks.
