JB says strongest Hurricane ever for Texas

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

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

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.

The following post is NOT an official forecast and should not be used as such. It is just the opinion of the poster and may or may not be backed by sound meteorological data. It is NOT endorsed by any professional institution including storm2k.org For Official Information please refer to the NHC and NWS products.

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.

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.
