Rita is coming now - is LA safe?

[STSF Precip 0]

Here is an interesting view of Rita. It is an infrared "floater" shot from a GOES Satellite.

 

Rita 1130 Est Sept 20

 

This page refreshes itself..so the storm might look a little different from the timestamp I put on the link. Basically the Oranges and Red's indicate colder cloudtops, that's indictive of the towering heights of thunderstorms within the storm.

 

Kinda looks like the "Eye of Sauron" from Lord of the Rings.

Hey, my Synoptic prof, Jon Nese, just showed that in lab! :P

 

EDIT 3:17 PM Rita was downgraded to Category 4 in the 2PM intermediate advisory, though I would not be surprised if it strengthened again.

Rita is now Category 3, but she's still extremely dangerous. (I've started keeping track on the NOAA Rita page, courtesy of Murray's sig.)

 

The question of safety now includes a large chunk of the southeastern US...

Well, that's what it's there for. :P

 

The expect it to stall out after it makes landfall. That region of Texas has been suffering from a four-inch rainfall deficit. I think they're going to make that up with Rita and then some.

When she hits, she's sending thunderstorms up into Arkansas...that's where I live. :P

I have to agree with Mike...again, rarely :P

 

If you two are going to be all lovey dovey almost cybering on everyboard, please just take it to PM's or some IM. You guys are always distracting from the topics with your little sessions.

 

T'Linna, it's good that your ok. Now please, if you two are going to be all...I heart you and such, just PM eachother please.

[WesleyMustDie 0]

Travis, I didn't post anything about I heart you or any of that nonsense. If I want to do that, I take it to PM or a chat room outside of STSF, so get off my back about it.

Let's all be civil and attempt to stay on topic or we will have to close this one down. Thank you.

But, for A-9's sake, and the rest of the boards, I try to keep my lips sealed as much as possible...at least now anyways...sheesh remember when I didn't care at all :P

<<Changing the subject>> Have you all been watching the news? CNN and the like? The mess South is incredible. Authorities are searching house to house to find survivors. I thought this hurricane was better taken heed to, evacuation wise. Did some stay?

There are always people that think they can ride out a hurricane. Some do successfully, some don't.

Tornados too.

 

It's like comedian Ron White said: "I was sitting naked in a bean-bag chair eating Cheetoes when..." OK, not that.

 

"Well, they call me 'Tater Salad'..." Nope, not that either.

 

"Here's your sign..." Nope, that's Bill Engval.

 

"It's not THAT the wind is blowing, it's WHAT the wind is blowing." Yeah, that one.
