this is not what's needed down there, let's hope Rita makes a turn for the better.

Now a hurricane. NHC target south of Houston...

 

[Wasch_24]

Damn Eric..good luck man.

Everybody think real hard and make it turn south.

 

[cvm4]

It's supposed to be a category 3 when i makes landfall. Lets all hope it doesn't turn north and hit where Katrina hit!

Good luck Eric and stay safe!

 

[smokem94]

Let's all hope and pray it fizzles out and loses strength!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tobby4]

Stay strong guys, hopefully it will turn and miss it all...

 

[Eric]

She's picking up steam now...

Cat 2 now w/ 100mph winds

 

[Wasch_24]

Shit.

 

[Eric]

I drove by work a few minutes ago and it's packed for a Tuesday late in the month. Did I take vacation on the right week or what?

Edit: Maybe not since I'll waste it all away on tracking her. :halfgrinw

 

[tripp]

Hope everybody is safe.

Looks like this could end being another monster. Most are probably already enjoying some fall weather. But, it's supposed to be 100 today and 101 tomorrow in Big D. Just think how warm that gulf water is to feed Rita. Yikes.

 

[gui_tarzan]

Um... if it hits NO there wouldn't be as much to damage?

Just a thought. Maybe it'll go due west and take out part of Mexico instead...

 

[Jwrussell]

Stay safe Eric!

 

[joshua]

Build a wall out of combs to keep back any flood waters

my parents spent two hours looking for bottled water to no avail. they are making plans to head for dallas. I may follow them, but I'd rather split for austin. we'll see what rita does by thursday and I'll decide then.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do, probably just stay here regardless...

Good luck guys! Hopefully all will be well.
