No it's not.
ranking is after total systems, not a strange criterium at all.

Your list makes 1996 worse then 1969, whereas 1996 has 1 major hurricane more, but 1969 is worse in the other three categaries, specifically having four more hurricanes.

Well, the clouds and winds are already here. Gonna start raining tonight. Might lose our power for a little bit from the tropical storm force winds.

We've had wind over 20mph off and on for a few hours now. Several bands of rain have come through. I'm not really expecting anything bad to happen here, especially since the storm seems to have dodged South.

Arent they over-reacting because of Katrina? Rita is not even a hurricane and everyone are talking about evacuation.

It's going to go over the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf is warmer than normal. It's moving slowly. It is already a tropical storm, which means that it is an organized tropical cyclone, which is guarnateed to get bigger - read hurricane. The problem is nobody knows where it will impact, slow moving hurricanes are notoriously tough to track due to per centage errors issues (think ship or aircraft navigation, I'll explain further if you need me to), and a minimum of Category 3 is very lilkely. Now pull out a topographic map of Galveston, and remember Mrs. Tuberski comment about the fact that in portions of Texas the ground is already saturated (flooding and then storm surges are the typical killers FYI). It's time to be cautious, and aware.

Now this should update daily, this is the current image of soil moisture in the US. Now remember that a hurricane can put several weeks of moisture into an area in days. If it heads towards Mississippi-Alabama (thank God a low probability) it would cause very bad flooding.

Rita is the big topic in Houston.
I am collecting important papers and photos together for fleeing should Rita come calling.


The people from NO are being sent further up north.

What some folks do not understand is that the longer you wait the longer it takes, the bigger the storm the wider the path the more people effected= More people jamming roadways and fleeing and then gas runs out and panic set in.

I would say with the projected impact being prudent is what Texas is and yes perhaps somewhat "reactionary" but then again having been through too many you need to make early decisions..what its currently scheduled to be in Texas landfall if it continues late Friday night?

Thats only 72 hours (+/- 12 hours) from major impacts..not that long in the big scheme of things.

Crap Rah is right damm its headed strait for the oil platforms. News reports state to expect the prices of gass to rise again dammit we just got back down to 240 a gal this week. The reports state the storm is headed for houston. were sa can expect up to more the 16 inces of rain and strong winds not a hit like houston but heck we just got through a week of rain.

Lucky, it never got back below about 2.75 here, at least the stations I regularly pass.

Folks on the Texas coast, stay safe... may I recommend that you get out ahead of the rush - the current strength forecasts (though those are not exactly the most accurate things) show Rita to grow to a low cat-4 hurricane in the coming days.
