On Wednesday when Rita got so fast CAT 5 from TS in less than two days, I asked what could happen to improve the situation because it seemed like an action movie turning worse and worse every hour. Since then Rita has weakened very rapidly as well, and biggest cities have left west of the forecast eye. That is wonderful.

What scares me at this moment is how confidence everybody is going trough this storm right now. You can feel it on television, in market behavior, and especially in this forum less than 12 hours before landfall (few posts, no mods appearances, etc.). On Wednesday we were up to the end of the world and today the only problem is people jammed in Texas roads. Let’s pray everything keep going in this way. Nevertheless this bipolar conduct makes me a little nervous about the end.
