You bet! I am beginning to research CableOne cable internet, but the Biloxi phone lines are having problems. Imagine that! I'm beginning to feel "abnormal" is "normal".

Wherever it strikes Texas [if it does] may it deliver me a few inches of rain. I've forgotten what the stuff is like.

I don't think Florida has any real worries about this storm (except Pensacola, particularly if Jim Cantore shows up again). This should be just a stiff breeze and some rain rolling through south Florida. The real question is where it goes from there.
As hot as it still is in Texas, I can only assume that there is still plenty of warm Gulf waters for her to intensify once it passes the keys. I'd be perfectly glad to see Texas take the hit this time rather than the poor victims of Katrina. We're Texans. We can handle it.

There is never a Q storm. Why is that? Not enough "q" names?

Philippe is southeast of Rita, and there is no Q storm for this year.

Boy! Can we ever relate to that!! None here SW of San Antonio except in spots. Hondo almost flooded off the map last week, we're 12 miles away and got 1/2".
I hate to see a hurricane hit anywhere, but if it does, I only hope some good comes of it in the form of much needed rain for many areas of S. Texas.

In 1995, the last storm named was Hurricane Tanya. Is the Congressional Black Caucus still demanding "black" hurricane names? Maybe we could switch to those once we run out.
Hurricane Aayilah Hurricane Beyonce Hurricane Chaniqua Hurricane Deshondra...

I tend to agree, although the NHC still has western Louisiana within the probability cone, although at the edges it should be considered a "possibility" cone.
This one definitely has my attention because I'm located on the northward line of the projected path.
But it's way too early to hit the panic button. A landfall at Brownsville will only mean an unusual eastern breeze in Houston. Not really noticeable.

A tropical storm watch just went up for Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Bryan Norcross (our south florida weather go-to guy) noted a couple of things...first of all it is crossing the very warm waters of the Bahamas. This area has a history of storms gaining strength rather quickly. Also, most of the convection is north of the center. He believes that they may shift the eye, and thus the future track more north. He would also not be surprised if south florida mainland gets upgraded to a hurricane watch or warning.
That being said, this feels an awful lot like Katrina two weeks ago. We all though "no big deal", then when you are going through it you realize the power of even a cat 1 storm.

I thought I heard the Fox weather guy this morning say that the next hurricane after Rita would be "Hurricane Stan."
Now, I am sorry, but that is a ridiculous name for a hurricane. Stan! LOL!

Here are the 18Z models. Again, I removed the worthless BAMD/BAMM/BAMS/ETA/LBAR models and focus on the dynamic models. All the models you see taking Rita WSW toward the Yucatan and BoC are iterations of the NOGAPS model.

I don't think Florida has any real worries about this storm (except Pensacola, particularly if Jim Cantore shows up again).I'm not so sure the families of the 11 Floridians killed in So. FL when little Cat 1 Katrina rolled through with 20" of rain, collapsing an overpass, and leaving more than 1 million without electricity would agree with you.

Your starting anotherone...LOL You may be in for a long week. Lets hope it does not head for Huston as some models suggest. Talk about Gas shortages.
