yeah but Rita was 48 hours out, ike is just abot 30, big difference.
I posted it to show how Ike’s track shift trend is pretty similar to Rita’s. Yesterday, they were almost identical as well from an almost identical point in the Gulf. If that trend holds, Ike would make landfall east of Galveston Bay, which is waaaay better than it making landfall just to the west of Galveston Bay - it would mean a LOT less surge pushing into Texas City and Houston.
You going to be OK? Are you all set for it?
