Rita Comes Ashore

Rita surprised everybody and did a jog to the north at the last minute this evening, resulting in her making landfall a little east and a little earlier than predicted.

Here is the GOES East infared satellite photo showing her sliding toward the Texas/Louisiana border.




I'm sitting here watching the FOX News and Weather Channel reporters flying around in the wind trying to deliver news reports.

I'd like to get paid just once to ride a storm out on TV, but I'd want some scuba gear to ensure that I could breath and an old Sherman tank to seek shelter in.
