we will cross our fingers for you. I am on high ground and bayside so flooding isn't a concern in our neighborhood, but we have lots of friends on lower ground who will be holding their breath until high tide passes.
Our big worry is the large tree in our backyard neighbor's yard that littered our yard and our next door neighbor's yard during Katrina. Hopefully if it falls it's on it's owner's house. Homeowner won't respond to requests to prune it so we are going to hatrack it asap. We even offered to pay to have it done nicely but when nice fails take matters into your own hands. It's encroaching on both our yards and we are sick of cleaning it up.
Exactly.
Stay safe:)
Eye seems to be forming rapidly now, after languishing all night.
After viewing the sattellite image this morning, I notice the storm is more symmetrical. Yesterday it was more "north-heavy" and now looks to be more organized.
Yikes, Go Away Rita!!!!
Rita also hoovered a lot of the heat out of the Gulf. As a result, SSTs are not as high as when Rita was bombing out.
However, IMO the difference will not keep Rita from being a very problematic storm - IMO Rita will probably reach peak intensity as a low Cat 4 and make landfall as a Cat 3 - and have a long fetch with which to push surge at wherever she makes landfall.
But that's just my guess.
Yes. She's a late bloomer, but she seems to be blooming quickly. Looks like she got jump-started over the past hour.
Lots of images here

"Looks at least like DFW could get some rain from Rita. We need it."
On that track we might make up for that 8" deficit in one day.

Gas is always cheaper in Key Largo/Islamorada than the Perrine area, where I live. I never can get over it.
Thanks for letting us know what's going on down in the Keys, have some interests there, great to have the reports. Best of luck to you.
In June 2001, in Pasadena TX, we got 25" of rain in one night from TS Alison. Becareful on what you wish for you may get it.
Well then, quit thinking......... ;^)

Harris County has a nifty little tracking chart. You can view it online or download and install the program. The download version has more features.

Jeb is on now.
Perrine? I'm just south of you, in Cutler Ridge. Near Caribbean Blvd. and the turnpike.
Hmmm...right about where Claudette went in in '03.
