NASA About To Get Hit Again?
New Orleans is now a potential (but still unlikely) landfall, but Rita may be headed for Houston. It's right in the cross hairs at the NOAA site. This can't be good for oil futures, either.

Yup, oil prices are up three bucks.

The hurricane of 1900 hit Galveston and everyone moved to Houston. When Rita slams into Houston, where are they going to move next? Maybe the Texans offensive line can hold off the hurricane?

Since Houston is quite a ways inland, they'll probably just stay put. Hurricanes usually lose force rapidly as they come ashore.

We may be "quite a ways" inland (50 miles), but Galveston bay goes nearly that far. And my house is only at 12 ft above sea level (on the south side of Houston). My plan:
Cat 1 - Ride it out
Cat 2 - Stay with friends on the other side of town
Cat=>3 - Go to Dallas

I know, I was trying to get the joke across of the Houston Texans offensive line....sigh.

Well, when you're playing the Gulf of Mexico Hurricanes, a defense in depth works wonders.
