Yea man.. even everyday Houston traffic is living ..

And they are trying to do that to us with the toll roads.. (I hate Gov Perry now)..

Anyway I would not work in Houston for all the money in the world... it's not worth it..

You can taste the pollution in the air too most days.. it's nasty.

Oh here are some Galveston webcams..

New vortex msg. The outer eyewall is open now. The 2 eyes are competing. Don't think I've ever seen that before.

[Vashner]

Remember when I said it had eaten that storm? ... I swear like in 1 frame it gobbled a storm 150 miles long... Let me dig up that pic..
Really you had to see the movie .. When I saw it was like like "woah" cause I had not seen that b4..

[MannyIsGod]

yeah, but that really wasn't a gobble. The storms were all circulating around the center, but the center was mostly exposed with no storm activity around it so it looks as though the other other storms were "swallowed".

In this scenario, the outer eye wall ususally robs the inner eye wall of all its strength, but this is taking a good while to finish. It'll be interesting to see when this finishes.

@ your telestrating though. Thats awesome.

[MannyIsGod]

Looking back at the picture you put up Vashner, if you draw a line from one of yoru green circles to the other, and then put a mark right in the middle of that line, that is where you find Rita. Not under the bright red convection.

[MannyIsGod]

Vash,

here you go:

[Vashner]

Dude it's a double decker storm....

With cheese...

There she goes. EWRC is in it's last phases

[SpursWoman]

What does "EXTRAP" on H mean?

[rl64tx]

looking at some of the radars she seems to be moving more to the west?? Am I looking at it correctly??

[Vashner]

I never totally trust computers... so I think the storm could do whatever it wants..

You sure are. If it last for more than an hour, then who knows where that will go.

[MannyIsGod]

SW, Extrap stands for extrapolated. They couldn't get a surface pressure reaading using one of their dropped sensors, so they took a reading at a certain height, then used a formula to convert it and figure out what the pressure is at the surface.

Very accurate, but still an estimate.

The storm has been moving westward lately, but it could turn out to be a wobble. You have to wait usually about 3 hours or so to make sure it is a true change in direction.

Out of all the San Antonio weather people Steve Brown is my favorite by far.

Just the other night, I realized just how much I hated the people on WOAI especially Jennifer Broom. She kept calling the NHC forcast track a model while pimping the BAMM model with is probably the worst at handling deep hurricanes like this.

She's so damn stupid.

But Brown today was talking about the NAM and another model, which was pretty cool. I think he might be the only one worth listening too. The man gets excited about things, too, and I dig that.

I love Steve Browne! He's the only one I watch and at least has a personality!

[CharlieMac]

Osterhage is coo' too.

[Vashner]

Check this out.. I am trying to find some current pics from ISS of rita. This is an older storm. I guess they don't have raw image feeds..

[spurs=bling]

i was kiddin i hope shes ok

thank you
