With all the discussions of W, WNW, NW, NNW, or N and trying to figure out for myself which way it is going, I decided to use FSU's GIS enabled radar to find the distances and bearing from a singular point (per each radar update) to three select cities. This is not exact science but based solely on these numbers (which in all reality mean absolutely nothing), anyone can see that the hurricane regularly makes jogs (demonstrated in the table by the change in distance over time from a given point).
What does this all mean? Nothing spectacular.
We have to ask our selves...what in nature follows a perfectly linear course?? Answer, nothing...
Even the photons of a lazer beams travel in waves. Basically, if you have anything in motion in physics you have "giga motions", which are unpredictable tough to detect random occurrences that take place on minute scales, that accumulated in time and space and cause perpendicular oscillitory affects on large scales. Hurricanes, such as Rita, are no different. In other words, there are no hurricanes that travel linear paths...they all oscillate, some more minutely then others but they all do so...
