Rita... Here we go again....

Mann.. this has been one heck of a Hurricane season...
The outdoor chairs are getting worn out, and not from sitting in them... Putting them up, taking them out, Putting them up....
Well I just hope that this on just runs out of steam in the Gulf.... I don't think anyone can handle anymore Hurricane's....
As this thing passes everyone check in, if anyone needs any help in Florida, we are in Bradenton... about 45 miles south of Tampa Bay.... Keepin our fingers crossed..
Everyone's in our Thought's and Prayer's
God Bless
Charlie
Edited to add: they just put us under Tropical Storm Warnings..

I don't know why, but I'm more concerned with the one that's following Rita. It looks scary to me. I pray you will all be safe down there Charlie!!

And it appears there is another mass of clouds right behind that one too Mel.
I don't like the looks of this at all.

May the hurricane season be over soon...
It's news like these which make me be so happy that I live in Finland. No hurricanes, tornados, etc.

Thats what I am worried about.. the Gulf temp is still above 90 around here.. so its even warmer south of us... The warmer water just gives them things more power...
They are talking on the radio about a high pressure system that might be over Texas on Thurs & Fri... which might cause the thing to come right back at us or along those lines... Right now the computer models have it going everywhere.... Its a waiting game right now....
But if it starts going north in the Gulf it will strengthen....

Not True but it does give people an understanding about evacuation quandries and why it's always last minute.

Try this site ( its ok to accept the cert.)
Stick to official information and if you live in a hurricane prone area learn how to be prepared. Worrying does diddly! You can't change what will be but you can be prepared if the sh!t hits the fan

Thanks Karma. That's a good graphic on Rita. I hope it stays on that course. NO, Biloxi, Gulfport, etc. absolutely cannot withstand another hit right now.
You FL folks - Please batten down your hatches and stay safe, you hear! We need you guys.
Praying for the safety of all.

The bad news....
Just saw on the Weather Channel there is a mandatory evacuation on the Keys.
The good news.....
Tolls have been suspended on the bridges leading from the islands. This time the poor people can get away (if they walk fast enough).
The best news is.....
There is a dark complexioned lady reading the news and she is
a Hottie.

Hey I had a group of close friends goin on a cruise that leaves from Florida....they were headin out either Sunday or I think maybe today.....Monday.....this cruise goes out into the gulf tho and travels out towards Mexico and where ever them things travel out that way. We were invited but couldn't go. Wonder if they still got to go tho.....all were flyin to Florida last I heard. Wouldn't want to be out in that gulf knowin some lunitic hurricane was doin weeble wobbling out there. I know the cruise lines plan around storms but this one would seem to be following them and then what ??? Run away cruise liner Pam

Hi JCM and all! I was here before under the name of Apple, but couldn't sign on. Anyway, I'm under a Hurricane Watch at the moment due to Rita. How lovely! Had a migraine earlier, but Imitrex killed it! YES! I'm so freakin sick of this I can SCREAM! I've really had it. As soon as my husband retires, we're OUTTA HERE! There are other difficulties in my area as well (long story). My area is a very stressful place to live for a variety of reasons. Fed up! 
p.s. Sorry to come on board with such a grumpy message! I'm usually a little "lighter" than this!!!
