JB says strongest Hurricane ever for Texas

[corpusbreeze]

As far as pressure is concerned. Also no change to his theory of hitting upper Texas coast. Well see.

[truballer#1]

Heard the exact same thing. Jb thinks be a cat 5 in gom

[Scorpion]

I agree with him. Soon the doubters of a Cat 5 will be eating crow.

[hicksta]

Link?

[no advance]

Could not believe it until I read it. Good luck all Texans.

[djtil]

wouldnt expect him to say anything different.

[hicksta]

Ugh, cat 5 moving to galveston according to one of the best mets out there

[jkt21787]

Typical JB. "probably" cat 5 hit in TX, according to him. Same ole scare tactics as ever.

But where I see in this thread the information about JB? Please when a thread is made post a link to what the theme is about.

I saw him on Fox News. He painted a pretty grim picture. But he did say Middle-Upper Texas coast, not just Upper. He said Galveston to Matagorda, at least that's the thinking today. Shep kept asking about New Orleans and he basically said maybe a few thunderstorms out of it for the NOLA, Miss. area, but this was Texas' storm. I don't remember the wording but something to the effect that SW La. wasn't out of the woods either, although that's not how he said it. He said it would be a significant impact for the middle and Upper Texas coast, and maybe SW La., obviously depending on actual landfall location.

My prediction was a Cat. 3, but I think she'll reach Cat. 5 before she makes landfall. At least Louisiana will be spared.

Good luck to all those who live on the TX Coastline.

Damn, I'd rather chew broken glass than agree with JB. But I guess I have to this time. I do believe Rita is going to hit cat 5 in the Gulf. Of course, I don't think she'll make landfall as a cat 5. It just seems that interaction with land tends to take that cat 5 punch out of a 'cane before those winds around the center make landfall. So it is very rare that a storm will actually make landfall as a cat 5. Smaller hurricanes and hurricanes moving at a faster clip stand a chance, but large, slower moving hurricanes will likely lose some punch before the center makes landfall. And I do believe that Rita will be an extremely large hurricane before it makes landfall. So I think she'll land as a cat 4, rather than a 5.

That's not what I heard him say. He said he thought it would hit as a cat.4 - he did at some point say he thought it could reach cat.4 or 5 status though.

CRAP.Wouldn't you know.I've only lived in texas for 5 years and this is going to be the biggest cane to hit in maybe history . Impact on Dallas area would be strongly felt as well. If she hits in the right place,we will see heavy rains and TS force winds

[LAStorm01]

JB also said Dennis was goint to vortex off cuban coast and go up the Mississippi to NO, so take it with a grain.

[djtil]

she has about a 36 hour window to hit cat 5, after than lower SST to the west of current location makes it extremely unlikely.
