Will Rita crash the Bay Area?

Tropical Storm Rita Graphic Track loop

I don't like how the track for Rita is moving north and east. I think it would hit Tampa mid to the end of the week, IF it keeps turning to the north and east. If it does run over the U.S. somewhere, hopefully it stays a weak storm.

Not a chance this thing comes near us.  It'd have to take a serious right turn, and the upper atmosphere won't be letting that happen.  We'll be clear for Saturday.

I hope that thing goes as far south as possible... it would suck if it affected our game, but even more importantly... the LA gulf coastal area really doesn't need any more rain/wind for a long time!

Especially considering that Katrina was only a cat 1 at this same time and location on the map... the paths are eerily similar.

I feel safe ... and just got my new roof finished ... but most important, do hope it stays FAR from the Gulf Coast already damaged.

Feel good about our game.

Looks like the Keys are gonna get the brunt of this one.  My favorite place in the world, hope it comes through all right.

Well, the last two NOAA tracks stayed pretty much the same, so it looks like Texas is getting it if it stays the course.

i dont mean to sound unsympathic or anything because i truely do feel terrible for all those folks in the gulf region that got hit earlier this month...but, wouldnt that be the best place for another storm to hit?  the damage is already done, if a completely different area gets blasted it will spread the already thin resources to a terrible situation.  just a thought.  

btw...can we skip hurricane season next year?
