Not knowing a whole lot about weather, is it possible it could be snowing at the top of the clouds, but changes to rain as it comes to earth?
Bob
Does anybody REALLY find the TRIBECA front end attractive?
The interesting thing is how slowly the storm is moving. It's still well within the "kltx" radar range, and it's just sitting there spinning. The radar imagery is fantastic:
Looking at the image, if the eye-wall was a clock, Wrightsville Beach is at 9 o'clock, Wilmington is about at 11 o'clock.

Wrightsville Beach is just a tad northeast of Wilmington.

One of my colleagues here is originally from New Orleans has a sister that is a nurse. He didn't hear from her for a few days because they had 18 ICU patients up on the hospital roof. Fifteen of the patients were safely evacuated.

Actually we have pretty good data feeds from the Australian Bureau of meteorology http://mirror.bom.gov.au but I liked the look of your front end.

Okay, todays' odd question. I absent mindedly mentioned Notre dame University to my wife, pronouncing it as for the French "NOT-RA DARM". Judy assures me that the US University is pronounced "NOTER DAEM" (phonetic pronunciation of that bit is rough).
Any takers to give me an education? Wasn't South Bend the home of Studebaker?
Cheers
graham
As to the Studebaker question: Yes.
Bob
The -ter in Noter all but disappear ...
I think the only people who say "no-tra dahm" are the parisians ...
sorry .. the wife gets this one .. lol
I currently use intellicast.com and weather.gov when I need to watch the radar screens. DW knows how much I follow the weather and ususally just asks me what the weather is going to be like, rather than looking in the paper or watching the weather on tv.

Servers are getting oil changed, wash, and wax.
Thanks for the heads-up—and no, I hadn't noticed the blub at the top.
In any event, it means that for 6 or so hours, I can do some "real" work.
Bob
Don't forget to wax in the inner side of those rims. Two coats.
I've found that people use the French pronunciation to help justify a high price, because it just sounds more Frou-Frou.
For instance, I say TAR-get, with a hard G. But I've heard people pronounce it tar-JAY!
Maybe there were no sales at the time.
With tuition rates these days, we might see more people using the French pronunciation!

Batten down the hatches, folks. Stay safe. I know Jim's in Texas, who else?
Hey Pat, make room for us when we retire, I think I'm moving north, not south!

I'm asking for all kinds of prayers, good wishes, or whatever you guys have as Rita bears down on my family and friends near Houston. My parents live between Houston and Galveston. My mother was in the hospital again this week (5th hospitalization this year). She was released yesterday morning and the last word I had was they were headed to my brother's house about 50-60 miles inland. I don't think they are going far enough and I don't think my brother's ancient mobile home in the middle of the Big Thicket is the place for them to be. Last I saw on the news they were probably in the middle of the exodus out of Houston.
25 years ago, we 'fled' from a storm that ended up going in near Brownsville - Hurrican Allen. At the time it was the 'largest' storm geographically ever in the Gulf of Mexico. It took us 8 hours to travel 150 miles north because of the traffic jams out of Houston.
My oldest daughter is about 40 miles inland and lives in a mobile home, but I have assurances from her that they will spend at least a few days in the in laws brick home on the same property.
I have talked to some friends, and mostly they are 'staying put'. While there won't be flooding on the scale of New Orleans, I am very scared for them all ...

My ex-wife and two boys left yesterday around noon and somehow, thankfully, made it to Austin, TX in only 5 hours. I still don't know how they avoided what others are facing now.
I have plenty of food and water, and I'm on a Houston mountain at about 100' mean sea level. I am more concerned about wind damage than I am about water damage. We have been told to expect 120 mph winds at my location, roughly 70 miles inland.
Wish me luck. I have charged the camcorder batteries and I'll post as I can.

Hang in there, stay safe, and know you are in our prayers.

oldest daughter and her family ended up going to her husband's grandmother's near Austin, so they are well 'out of reach' ...
middle daughter is at Fort Polk and with the direction change they are likely to get a LOT of wind and rain on the northeast side of the storm .... but should be far enough inland to be 'ok' ...
Bob
Now speaking of Pat and Rita.... they are good people - better than under normal circumstances any of you would ever probably have an opportunity to know. Ok, crappy sentence because I am dog tired, but hopefully you get the sentiment. Without details, Beth is back in the hospital and is now doing just fine. But a day ago when things were rather tense, Pat and Rita were on the phone offering strength.
Steve
And we truly believe that when we meet our maker the question that will be foremost was how did you treat your fellow man, not how much money you had, or how big your house or all the rest of that irrelevant stuff.
We are truly glad that once again Beth is on the way up. Take care.
Cheers Pat& Rita.
