God Hates The Gulf Coast....The Official Hurricane Rita Thread - Page 3

Cleo · 2005-09-21, 08:31 AM

My eccentric rich neighbor last night said he was sick of all these storms so he was going back to his home in Oklahoma for a few weeks and is leaving today. Maybe he should have looked at the Rita forecast first. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/grap...857.shtml?5day

In other news it looks like it isn't just earth that is getting warm and the poles on Mars are also shrinking. http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mgs/newsroom/20050920a.html "for three Mars summers in a row, deposits of frozen carbon dioxide near Mars' south pole have shrunk from the previous year's size, suggesting a climate change in progress."

Neptune is starting to look pretty good…

I blame 2257

Linkster · 2005-09-21, 04:26 PM

Well - now a Cat 5 with 165 mph winds - and still increasing

Yea, this one is looking bigger and nastier than Katrina

Good luck to those on the Texas coast.

Surfn · 2005-09-21, 04:40 PM

Even though NO may not sustain a direct hit they will not be able to handle the additional water and the levees will burst yet again...wonder where all the FEMA people will be when that happens?

The ones that fucked up will be in some plush office out of harms way. The field workers who have worked their asses off will remain close by to start over again.

Quick, move the refugees in the Astrodome to Alaska!

Actually - they moved them to Ft Smith to a large center up there

Cleo · 2005-09-21, 04:39 PM

Yeah it looks bigger to me too.

Isn't a lot of the oil refineries that weren't damaged from Katrina now in Rita's path? I wonder what this will do to fuel prices now and what this is going to do to our economy in thew long term?

It looks bad, real bad.

It all depends how you see the economy. Exxon will still make more then last year's $40 billion profit and Chainey's firm still won't have to account for the missing $1.8 billion. I'm sure if you ask Dubya and his buds they're tell you that everything is fine.

RawAlex · 2005-09-21, 05:01 PM

God hates domes stadiums....

I filled my gas tank today... I would recommend the rest of you do the same... the price is going to go up before it comes back down.

docholly · 2005-09-21, 05:15 PM

i just looked at a detailed map and Crawford is in for a direct hit..
i'm telling you the Goddess is pissed and she's gunning for George!!

*running out to fill my tank*

RawAlex · 2005-09-21, 05:21 PM

Another excuse for Dubya to spend a month on the ranch.

*sigh*

Cleo · 2005-09-21, 05:22 PM

Nevada is starting to seem like a decent place to live.

Torn Rose · 2005-09-21, 05:59 PM

Wouldn't that be interesting if in fact the ranch got leveled? If it did, I wonder how many weeks he is there next month.

We have been hit by an outer band of this bitch for the last 20 hours, nothing but storms and rain all day, my pool is less then 1/2" from the edge, normally it's 4 to 5" this is the most rain we have had since we lived in FL, last years 2 hurricanes didn’t drop this much on us in 1 day.

And look how far you are from the hurricane - now look at how much closer New Orleans will be even if the storm stays on its predicted path - and New Orleans can only take on another 3-4 inches of rain before the existing pumps that are running get overwhelmed - and the engineers pulled all of the temporary pumps today since they cant run submerged - thats why I dont think New Orleans will stay dry for very long - 3" isnt much - and all it would take is a little 3 ft storm surge to break the temporary levee system they have

MrYum · 2005-09-21, 09:31 PM

Absolutely true...this isn't looking good for NO at all. Not gonna take much to really fubar that place again.

Just saw the most recent images...Cat 5...and this sucker is huge!

Do kinda wonder how quickly FEMA will get into Crawford...

Torn Rose · 2005-09-21, 06:02 PM

Hmmmmm....

Katrina was the 4th most intense hurricane in recorded history.

Rita is 5th.....

Its now up to #2 as of the latest pressure - down to 898 which is lower than Andrew and all others except the 1935 Labor Day hurricane which was at 892 mB - and this thing is still growing

Linkster · 2005-09-21, 10:05 PM

Noted that this also now makes it equivalent to a F3 tornado - except its a hell of a lot wider

MrYum · 2005-09-21, 10:25 PM

Ugh...yep, this is one nasty bitch!

Did just hear on the weather channel that it can only maintain cat 5 in ideal conditions. They're 'speculating' that it may weaken to a cat 4 before landfall. Sure hope it weakens for the sake of all those in the path.

Linkster · 2005-09-21, 10:52 PM

One thing I noticed the news channels are doing - they are including another storm in their "rankings" - Gilbert - that never hit the US - and it was the strongest ever recorded - so most news places are saying this is the 3rd strongest - but we kinda assume this is gonna hit the US so its really the 2nd strongest to ever hit - although it continues to strengthen and will be the most intense ever in "recorded" history.
Mr Yum - I sure hope youre correct - although even if it drops to a 3 - with its size it will effect an awful lot of people and destroy a few cities unfortunately

GenXer · 2005-09-22, 12:18 AM

Listen, I'm usually pretty cool, calm and collected but I'm right in the Houston area right now and I wasn't able to leave and won't be able to leave either (long story). The storm winds are predicted to be 100 plus where I am and I'm scared sh*tless! I went to town to get batteries for my Radio (D's) in case the electricity goes and they were sold out EVERYWHERE. Wal Mart, gas stations, Office Depot, you name it. The gas stations are closing the pumps and the ones that are open seem to be price gouging. At least I will have some food and water IF my house doesn't fall apart! Aggggh!

Is anyone else in the line of the hurricane? If so, could you leave, and if not, are you as scared as I am ?
I could use some hugs 2 nite. I will probably be awake all night. ICQ me 20402228

Doug E · 2005-09-22, 02:01 AM

To make the night go by faster plan out a route of what and where youre going to loot.

Im only half kidding, take care down there.
