Bill Clinton says it's global warming.

Rita just sent us some serious rain, thunder and a good stiff wind -- and we're how many miles from the eye? 
October. I can't wait for October. No matter how many snakes, yellow flies, alligators and heat waves it may bring.

and I bet that Farrakan (?) dude thinks it's George Bush. Have you seen that man...he is one crazy a**! Thinks the levee in NOLA was likely bombed on purpose to flood the poor part of town!!!
He is just jumping on the media band wagon with Sharpton and Jackson. Hey, the three stooges what do you know.
On a serious note, this thing is a monster and could easily be the worst one in history. Another point is it could slow down drastically which would let atmospheric conditions around it set up to move Rita North. No matter where it goes this is a nightmare.

I watched him speak on TV the other night...he is a real dork, isn't he?! :roll: I heard another clown on Hannity and Colmes make some equally ridiculous statements. Wouldn't it be scary if Farrakan would actually get into a place where he had some power? Just the very thought makes me shiver!!
This is from the latest vortex message from the hurricane hunter.
Take a look at the temperature differential between the center "J" and the eyewall measurements "I" & "K".

Where do you find information that specific? really scary!
So sorry for Seabrook - the magnet is there. 
This is an incredibly intense storm. However, the latest NHC discussion *may* provide a glimmer of hope:
"THE GFS AND SHIP MODELS FORECAST SIGNIFICANT
SHEAR OVER RITA AFTER 24 HR...WHICH RESULTS IN SHIPS CALLING FOR
SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING.."
Let's pray this happens.
