Am too tired to trawl through the other thread.
When is Rita due to make landfall? I thought it was this evening but I am usually wrong :o
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I think it's due in the early hours of Saturday morning our time, but I get confused with the time zones so i'm probably wrong.

Seems to have weakened then strengthened. Eyewall replacement appears to have lasted a while.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Is it growing again? they said on the news this morning that Rita was slowly falling apart?

Hi phil. Rick click disabling is something i use, but it does not prevent the image from being d/L. More knowledgeable users can still track the Image URL, and do it that way, i think there is some ISP's that will black users doing this :unsure:
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yup, all you have to do is hit Prt sc to copy everything on screen, so stopping right clicking is not really worth the aggro IMO.

Do daytime / nighttime temp have any affect on hurricanes? I.e. warmer temps in the day, cooler at night? I just wondered if they have effect the intensity of the system?
-
I still hope it hits NO again, it's already virtually deserted, it's already smashed by katrina, most of the tree's/power lines etc are already down, the disaster relief effort and personnel are already in place, that's got to be better than trashing a whole new area.
It's the best of a bad situation IMO, however it looks like it's going to miss NO anyway.
-
is it possible that before that , that this system will make CAT 6 status for a time While tracking across the Gulf???
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
As far as I know, that's impossible on a scale that goes from 1 to 5.
-
Is she a Cat 5 yet?
-
Warm & sunny with a very light breeze, was quite misty this morning.
-
I an strange kind of way I hope it changes course and hits NO again, hardly anybody is there at the moment, the engineers are already there to sort out the mess, surely if it hits Texas the emergency services and disaster relief people are going to have big problems coping with another disaster area.
-
When is this beastie expected to make landfall?
-
nice lightning pictures there, i have tried to get pics like that for a while maybe using the wrong film doesnt help lol, what camera you using for them, im using an older richo (spelt right i think) so its an all manual camera i will get a few pics on here of a strm a few days ago that i took some pics of (no lightning) but hugeeeeeeee clouds

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I used my EOS300D ,it was my first attempt at capturing lightning so i just experimented and got lucky .
Now i've got more of an idea how to do it I shall have another go when we get another storm in darkness.
