Re: Category 5 Hurricane Rtia Moves Westward in the Gulf

I am not freaking out - yet - but in the morning that may change. Not that I think we're going to get it "in the face" over here in the Panhandle - but I do not like trends when they go against what's been prognosticated - not only by myself, but also by pro Mets.





Don't panic - yet. The last few IR images show a motion slight SOUTH of due west, to put Rita back on a due west track over the long haul, it would seem, for now. My feeling is still that it will track north of the thin black line, maybe as far as near the TX/LA line even, but I *THINK* WE are safe here in the Panhandle.
