Re: Hurricane Rita Tracking West Northwest in the Gulf

Quote:

Rita appears to have moved almost due west for the last hour and has also slowed down. This would be a rather lengthy "wobble"... the ERC may be inducing some temporary erratic motion, or it may be starting to feel more the high to the NW that will want to steer it more westward for awhile. Until the trend persists, it is probably safer to assume the ERC is the main culprit here.




i'm seeing that as well. galveston people, take a deep breath....

...i feel like we're watching that game from "the price is right" where the person drops the hockey puck and down it goes, which way will it bounce, nobody knows...

point is, if you are anywhere near it, well....you know.
