Rita is now a very dangerous Cat.4 storm with winds greater than 135mph, it is expected to strengthen possible to a Catagory 5 hurricane in the next day or so. Then head toward the Central, North Texas coast early Saturday.

He's married to a Texan girl.  They met on the, er, internet and got married in Vegas.

 For some reason, a Texan nutritionalist couldn't get a job in Airdrie, so now they both work at a charity hospital, I think near Houston.

By the way, the images update constantly, so it's best to keep this one bumped and watch the carnage.

But, that image is messed up, so here is a better one.

As I posted in the other thread, Rita is now a Catagory 5 hurricane with winds of 165mph, central pressure is now down to 906mbs.

Am I wrong or is that another one forming back there?

Nah, that weak TS Philippe, and it will be drifting off and not bother anyone.

The other one you're seeing back there is TS Philippe, which is weakening and heading due north.  Rita's just a monster, though.  To all of you Texans, best of luck, and get the hell out of Dodge well before it hits.  There's a chance that it could weaken before landfall, so let's hope for that, and that NO doesn't catch too much of it.

So... if I live 30 miles north of Dallas, do you think I'll be affected significantly? (Meaning floods and evacuation and ****?)
