They will likely come up with some other "theory". According to some scientists it's quite possible that rising sea temperatures will affect sea currents and bring about another mini ice age. The earth has gone through numerous warming and cooling cycles since the age of time.

Clear Lake is a lot closer to the Gulf than than 60 miles, and I'm in Houston city limits.:(

Come to think of it, wasn't all the talk in the 60's and 70's about just such a thing? Seems I heard Rush mention this. Many scientists were talking about a coming ice age and how it was too late to stop it and that it would begin in 15 years. Then those 15 years came and went and no ice age. LOL. So they suddenly dropped that theory as fast as they dreamed it up.

EXACTLY right!
That is the single reason I dislike the moonbat environazis. They do not learn from history. They do not understand the weather and climate cycles. They are not grounded in science. They have only hype and propaganda on their side.
I started kindergarten in the early '80s, and my teacher told the class there was an impending ice age. Everytime I meet a howler, I ask them if they remember the ice age we were going to have. I ONLY get blank stares. Not a one has any idea what the screeches have been in thew past.
Dumb stupid retarded idiots. Apologies to any idiots reading this for comparing you to the environazis.

My prediction...

New Orleans again and Category 4. Or about 20 miles west of New Orleans. I know they are saying Texas, but I have a feeling NO is going to get the knock out punch.

Is your "feeling" based on anything substantiated?

Katrina didn't hit where it was suppose too. I "feel" Rita will do the same. Substantiated by my gut. Doesn't mean anyting, but I just get this uneasy feeling, this ones going to be bad too and either NO will become more of a war zone or somewhere else will have the same thing happen as NO. Gut tells me it's NO and it's going to be as bad or worse than Katrina.

How many oil refineries are in Galveston?

Here it is in motion (requires Java): RITA

Looking at this, it looks like it's starting to curve a bit northward. Or is it normal for them to briefly go a little more north then back south - staying on the same main course (meaning do they travel in a curvy line instead of straight)?

Hurricanes tend to "wobble" as they move. They never move in perfectly straight lines for long. Before I would consider anything a real change of direction, I'd have to see the movement continue through several successive satellite images.

It's either that, or God is very cranky this year

or it's just following an established pattern of lots of large hurricanes every 30-40 years

yeah on NPR they had some hurricane experts on as well lately. All agree this is nothing nothing more then every other season. The patters repeated about every 20 years from various conditions.

Also this is why villagers left during the rainy seasons in places like the south coast. We were the intelligent ones that though millions of people can live in concrete jungles where we over populate ourselves everywhere :)

Beware Houston: Look at the damage done directly by Katrina to Mississippi before saying "aww, we're not under sea level so we're gonna be fine". NO wasn't done in by the hurricane, it was done in by the levies failing.

I don't believe it will..at any rate there will be one hell of a storm surge to the north of the landfall, which will impact the Galveston area pretty good. I am guessing a Cat.4 or strong Cat. 3 at landfall. The dry air mass sitting over Texas will save her from the wrath of Rita.
