Re: Hurricane Rita Approaches Texas

There might be only 8 now. They pulled out someone wading around in the surf. He was drunk. He went to jail.

Looking at the Texas A&M Buoy 42046, south of Galveston, it has been showing a pressure increase since 9 am today. Note - this is not the start of an "Aggie" joke. The other Aggie "stick" buoy to the east has only wind speed and direction. The next "full service" device is just to the east of Galveston Bay near the shore and is indicating the expected trends as Rita approaches.

BabyCat - are you the one from down the bayou in Lafourche?
