I disagree... I would argue that there can be more than one "big one."
I COMPLETELY agree with the last portion.
OT: Radar indicates movement is closer to west after the NW wobble...

That's not a stupid question! 6PM central - 7PM at the latest. Ed Rappaport from the NHC indicated they were going to the two hour interval updates.

This is because (you probably know, just making sure others do) the entire eye is now visible on radar.

Thank you very much!
I'm eager to see what's changed as I'm in the track of the storm, well inland, but just not enough.
I've already been bashed enough by this storm through my job (grocery store) and am not looking forward to tonight. This thing looks to organized now for me to be as complacent as I was looking at it yesterday, anyone think this may turn into a 3?

Thankfully, we learned from our mistakes and pulled off the most successful and smooth evacuation in history. But I just need to say that I cannot believe the same mistakes are being made. Galveston's mayor does look like an elderly deer caught in the headlights... she seems clueless. And to add to that frustration, you have Texas' governor saying that he is satisfied and very proud of the evacuation... that nowhere else in the world could pull off this wonderful evacuation that left probably 30,000 people at ground zero. Good job Gov... you're clueless too.

Not complaining at all, but with Gustav, Edouard, Fay, and now Ike they were preaching about cat 4 sometimes even cat 5 coming through the gulf. Upon landfall they have been a lot weaker then predicted. Are the conditions just not as favorable as thinking, water temps lower than normal, shear, dry air, etc. etc???? Just trying to figure out what is going in the gulf this year. For instance over here in SE LA we only got about 1 inch of rain since midnight. Forecast was for 3-4 with higher isolated amounts through today. Winds have only been in low 30's tops, now almost dead calm. That is way less than what we usually receive from a hurricane making landfall just to the west of us(rain wise)
Intensity forecasts aren't really an exact science.

Why is the governor resposible for people deciding to stay? Are you advocating they be forceably removed? What ever happened to personal responsibility?
