She is moving more north than ever. Looks like NW and the very last frame looks like a more north jog than that. Im afraid LA will take the brunt of this storm instead of Texas if it jogs more to the north. Then central LA is in big trouble possibly and that means that New Orleans will get a worse storm surge than thought and better chance of rain. The flooding will come back into some places. I just have a bad feeling the track will shift further east before its over with. Maybe even limiting the amount of damage to the state of Texas just to the extreme northeast counties. We shall see soon. Friday into the evening we should know more about her exact path. There is some good news. The latest update has her weakening some. Her pressure has gone back up to 907mbs. Lets hope this continues.

Hi audioslave8. I would like to introduce you to your friends, the period, and the second hit on the Caps Lock key. Use them often and they will serve you well.

"Seven sixteenths of one inch:

That's the distance you'd have to move your pinky in order to not sound like an idiot. I know the burden of pressing shift to capitalize is a great one, but c'mon audioslave, you can do better than that. I used to type emails in caps like yours, but then I decided that I didn't want a job mixing concrete."

I am with you cajungal. I am in NEW ORLEANS.

If this thing continues this, then expect the death toll to keep rising. A surprise hit on New Orleans, MEDIA!!!

Zack and cajungal, I am becoming very scared. I am in Chauvin in Terrebonne, I am very worried abouy surge since we are going to be on the west side. I am afraid this may come in near Laffeyette. We are getting no info from parish and kids even have school today. We looked at some maps last night, and there is grid lock to my west and road closures to my right. For once I do not know what to do

TS Zack · #11 Postby **TS Zack** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:08 am

Yea, this storm has no warning for Louisiana! If it turns sooner, the landfall will be up to 36hrs. We cannot evacuate all of South Louisiana in 36hrs. That would put many peoples lives in danger.

Not to mention your neighbors in Ms either. It's starting to look a bit ominus for you guys. HopefullySE-LA has already begun some actions to take all necessary precautions that you can.

zoey, I live in Terrebonne Parish too. Hurricane watch has been extended as far east as Morgan City. Morgan City is only 25 miles to my due west! My mom was panicing for Katrina and we were on the west side. I told her about the shift east and just blew it off! I got lots of family evacuees from Katrina in SW LA! Ville Platte and Marksville. Ville Platte is way further inland than us. It is where we evaucated to for Katrina. but, my uncle lost parts of his roof when Lili came in! And this is way stronger than Lili!

zoeyann · #14 Postby **zoeyann** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:16 am

No Bama, I made some personal preps, but we have had NO info and NO inkling of help for getting out from any parish in my area we are under a TS warning the hurricane watch ends just to my west and we have had no info at all the kids still have school. I WANT to leave, but where do we go. To head east I have to go throgh NO which is closed, and to head west I heading to where to storm is most likely heading and into gridlock same north.

which radar loop has the center of Rita on it right now....... I think ya just mean satellite

arlwx · #16 Postby **arlwx** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:29 am

Let's look at the 11 AM first before SW LA totally panics, for it might veer off to a more westerly track again. IF it held the current course over the last three hours (5-8 AM EDT) (.3 N, .3 W), then people in places south of Lake Charles to Abbeville should start walking into the nearest town with a three-story building to swim out of (bring life preservers, LOL). It may be too late to otherwise evacuate if this track does hold true, for strike time would be before sunrise on Saturday at this speed.

zoeyann · #17 Postby **zoeyann** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:35 am

So I take it you are nervous to cajungal? Hope I am overreacting. My sister is at UL, and I am also worried for her.

audioslave8 · #18 Postby **audioslave8** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:35 am

Yeah I meant the satellite loop Jevo. My bad. I hope im wrong on a further east track. It sounds like if Rita decides to go into southeast or central LA that this would be unexpected and alot more people would have to evacuate which would make for a big mess huh??? The NHC needs more funding from the government so in the near future maybe they can get that wide cone to slim down some uno. I know they might not get every storm perfect since your dealing with mother nature but it would be alot better than now and cause less problems with evacuations and other things as well. I hope for the best for all of you on here. This has been one hell of a crazy season so far. Pretty unusual the storms havent gone up the east coast much so far. That would at least give you a break for a little while. The way the high pressures have been so far this year has made all the storms move west into the gulf. I think in October the east coast could still get a late storm if the timing is right and there is nothing to steer it away. The ocean temps should stay favorable into the month of October especially near the bahamas and Puerto Rico.

Sad to say but a surprise hit on New Orleans would be one of the better options as far as lives and economic costs are concerned. The city is almost completely empty and, considering that most buildings will have to be bulldozed anyway, about as trashed as you can get.

I would have to agree with that. You can't destroy the same house twice.
