Jeez, Humberto came out of nowhere yesterday, eh?
And now I'm worried: I'm supposed to be celebrating my thirtieth birthday (technically Sept. 20) with family and friends and a trip to the hometown of New Orleans tomorrow. The idea was to kick back and hopefully achieve some acceptance of how I spent my dissolute twenties--aka doing odd stuff like writing a hurricane book.
Now, though, there may well be hurricane related rainfall to worry about all weekend!
Humberto, you suck; and no, I don't appreciate the irony....
Chris,
I think you have some cause for concern. The O6Z GFDL model run brings the system over New Orleans in two days, where it will have ample access to warm Gulf air.

The model has predicted such a scenario for three consecutive runs. I hope it does not come to pass as it could severely tax New Orleans' pumping stations.

It is clear that God hates South Texas as much as I do.
Pat, aren't you supposed to be praying to divert the storm from New Orleans--or do you hate us too?
Eric, thanks, I've been reading your blog and have found it hugely informative on this storm. Keep it up. And for everyone else, go and check out SciGuy:

Chris - No, I am praying that Our Lord God stike at sinners everywhere. And I hate everyone that is not one of us, where us = chubby, jowelled white Republican Male, and Proper God-fearing Women.
HTH :)
Why Pat, does that mean you hate kittens too?
Sheril - I could get into that! Please tell me more!
this thread is great. we've never had so many celebrities visit the intersection...except for the time that we had God commenting.
