Hurricane Rita - 165 mph winds, 904 mb pressure
 

Yikes, I'd start running if i lived there. Hopefully it goes through an eye wall cycle before landfall. :helpme

it's been a hell of a hurricane season in the gulf.

CNN is all over this. Looks like the evacuations are going well.

Global warming is a bitch. Pretty soon this will be considered normal.

:helpme

Rita's barometric pressure is now approaching record low levels. The record low pressure is 892.3 mb for The US during the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane.

"Rita's pressure has dramatically dropped to 898 millibars! Even as a large and extremely intense category 5 hurricane, further strengthening is possible as the atmosphere remains favorable for development over the next 24 hours."

below 900 is some real scray stuff!

The weather is being manipulated.

according to this show on abc right now.. hurricanes are a cover for aliens landing

Bush and God (in order of importance) organized this shit just to divert attention from Iraq.


Or maybe God is just getting well pissed and balancing up George's "life games".

thank you

Is that you Tom?

How did it go from K katrina to R rita so quickly. Thought they elevated every other letter or something. Someone please expalin. I'm in Thaild. I forget the USA specs. We get monsoons and no weather channel.

cool sig

This has nothing to do with 'global warming' ... this is just the natural cycle of hurricanes every 40-50 years.

Hell yea

It's predicted to be over 100 mph winds where I am. I am going to be in the nice little "orange red zone" that they were showing on the news. It's a long story but I couldn't leave and i definitely can't leave now either. If anyone else is in houston area needs a friend to talk to or just wants to talk, pm me. I'll probably be up stressing all night.

Gotta board up the windows tommorrow. It sucks.

Tom who? choker?

Damn..mother nature sure has been a bitch lately

Who is ready for $5 a gallon gasoline....? GWB's buds are smiling in the wings,....BONUS: a government bailout for repairs and upgrades to their beach houses and refineries.

great pic!

They do run thru the alphabet. There has just been a lot of tropical storms out there, most not being a problem. Chances are they will reach Z, then names continue but along the lines of alpha, beta, charlie, delta blah for the rest of the season.

As stupid as this can sound I'm starting to beleive it.

upates 10pm west coast time:

898 MB barmotreic pressure. #3 storm in history to have BP that low. this will be devastating.

thanks frank :thumbsup

Hurricane Andrew in 1992

Oh my! we are now facing another damage to the country.. i just hope it it will not be the same damaged that Katrina made. pray for the best

Sadly it will.. and it sure ain't looking good at the moment. Depending where it hits, it could be far worse than Katrina. Well worth getting the hell outta that area asap.

at the end this is normal nature's weather and nothing
to do with global warming
