Re: Category 5 Hurricane Rtia Moves Westward in the Gulf

Calm people.... I know that this is freakish and scary stuff to see, but staring at the IR loops or the visible loops will not make the storm update any faster, nor will a few hours significantly alter the course of the storm.

If you can, go bike, walk, go watch Lost, do something else for a bit and relax.... come back and look objectively (unless you're a met, in which case, work harder!! read those tea leaves and tell is what's going to happen!

BTW, could someone change the title to "Rita"
Guess we're all a little excited tonight
