Well, ok...but, obviously this is subjective. I never said (factually) Rita was moving NNW...
Perhaps if I had used the term "wobble" instead, which a 9mph forward speed it has to be doing so... The statement originally had nothing to do with prognostics and veracity...it was everything to do with "imagine that" - which, Terra seemed to understand that vibe.

In the meantime, for the record, I do think that Rita is gaining more latitude than WNW, at times 'hinting' even more than that...

Other than that, I hang my hat on the folks at TPC, who have millions of dollars to technology at there disposal and PHD's with year and years of experience. Other than that, don't take too much of what anyone says on here any deeper than speculative. It's not worth it; it's for entertainment only.
