Didn't you just ping me to TD # 17?? Geez....
Well, the way they portray it, looks like a Mexico/Texas 'Cane. But if I were anywhere along the gulfcoast right now, I would not return for a few weeks or I would have my stuff packed and ready to roll.
This one and now Phillipe, which looks like he will just turn right and head out into the open sea.
Here you go.
Made my exit on the turnpike
saw the stateside toll and shuffled for some change
I paid a man that talked as if he knew me
And I could see it in his eyes
he could tell that I was runnin' away.What are you waitin' for
it's just a minute away.
Travel light you might just
find yourself there for the day.
What are you waitin' for
it's just a minute away.
Following Rita,
Following Rita.
I've noticed in the last few years these damned hurricanes have an uncanny propensity for striking the same areas and following the same paths. At least the last couple of hurricane seasons have been this way. They have repeatedly tracked into the Florida panhandle in a given season and they have repeatedly tracked and formed along the Florida peninsula in a given season. I don't want to sound alarmist, but this is the reason I fear for the Gulf coast again and particularly the New Orleans region. I realize the 5 day forecast doesn't take it anywhere near the Gulf coast, but at the same time, we all have seen how these storms seem to follow similar paths. It's almost as if a previous hurricane creates an alley for another to follow.
Just my two-cent observation..........
