    Ohh, my bad. Yeah, Port Arthur is ed. Funny thing is, we had a class field trip in taht exact area this past weekend. I had no idea how immense the refineries there were. They're like little cities! They even had stop lights and roads going through the refineries that you need to use to get through the city.

    That means a lot of South, and South East Texas as well as Western Louisiana are under the gun for a huge flood event.

    If you remember what Tropical Storm Allison did to Houston a few years back when it stalled and dropped 60 inches of rain and apply that to a low pressure center that has the ability to drop much more rain for a longer period of time, and you have a huge diaster potential.

    The GFS does show San Antonio getting rain as the storm center drifts back to the west, and the NAM of course brought the storm center right over San Antonio.

    We're not talking about high winds after landfall for very long, but long periods of intense tropical downpours.
    Damn, i'm South East....well I know how to swim good if it does flood and I have packed some important stuff just in case

    True...it's a distance thing. Years of being told "_______________________" is 12 inches tends to screw with your perception.

    why would it backtrack?
    High pressure building to the east and north. There is no trof of low pressure to move the high out of the way as was being forcast earlier. That is one reason the storm is slowing down. So it would move to the north and east as the current weak trof forces the high to the east.

    As that trof passes, the high will build back, and in turn force Rita (or what is left of Rita) back to the southwest untill the next trof comes along and sweeps it to the northeast.

    Looks like NO could get a pretty good walloping, being only 150 miles from Beaumont, and on the nastier east side of the 'cane.

    and if Rita keeps veering easterly....

    Actually, the biggest thing for me this morning is relief. Jess' family stayed in Houston, and as long as the trackkeeps shiftnig to the east they'll be just fine. Sucks for the Port A people though.
    You mean Port Arthur right?

    Most of the models now indicate that steering currents will weaken and Rita will stall and sit in place for several days once it moves inland. This will result in severe flooding problems for wherever Rita stalls, as 10 - 30 inches of rain could fall in the affected region. As is usually the case when steering current get weak, the model forecasts of Rita's motion are highly unreliable. Rita may stall over the Dallas area, or central Louisiana, or Oklahoma or Arkansas. It's too early to tell. Finally, on Tuesday, Rita's remnants are forecast to lift out to the north.
    Thats Masters in his latest blog entry.

    Seems like there has been a lot of over-reacting to Rita due to the damage Katrina did in New Orleans.

    Mike, thats not what Masters said at all. This is a very difficult situation to forcast, San Antonio could easily see the remanents in this situation.

    I heard that San Antonio was also going to feel the Impact of Hurricane Rita, of course not as bad...Anyway, I went grocery shopping last night just In case...

    Today, I hear from a co-worker that everyone Is over reacting about this Hurricane... So of course I told him to go away!

    Then a few minutes later another co-worker came In crying saying we are going to have high winds and flooding...

    I don't know what to believe anymore

    Yeah. I wonder why people would react in that manner with a storm that is stronger than Katrina ever was?
