Jason Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hurricane Rita may change things...Could hit Corpus. Could hit Galveston. It's gonna hit somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASPEEDRACER24 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Last I saw in a previous post R Date is the 22nd of Oct. or somewhere thereabouts... I could be wrong but I think I saw that somewhere... All things said if it keeps the track that its supposedly on and turns north late like Katrina did (remember the original track was to take it over Mobile but it never turned) Corpus San Antonio and Austin for that matter will get wet. It wont be a matter of if but how much... JMO but if it looks like its gonna hit anywhere close to Corpus by Wed. I personally dont think the out of town racers would mind staying home cause I wouldnt want to have to drive back home in the middle of the storm... Just thinking ahead... LOL I can already see Nick getting his calling the races too early speech ready.... I know alot of you want to race but unless the storm slows down or speeds up a bunch it dont look very promicing...

abrungot Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 My vote slow it down 1 day and we are good... I don't want it to turn north early cuzz New Orleans can't take another direct hit... Mexico can always use rain though!! its a pretty dry place..

Jason Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 If its a big enough storm a lot of Corpus people would go to SA/Austin anyways. I am sure people from Houston wouldnt mind staying a few extra nights in Austin or SA if the storm goes there too. Be no reason to drive back. During hurricanes everything is shut down.

Truck38 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 New Orleans can't take another direct hit... You know New Orleans is probably the best place it could hit. There already almost nobody there and everything there is already damaged or destroyed. Plus New Orleans is no where near here so we'd all get to race.

GINGERBREADMAN Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 What are we going to do about hotel rooms. The closest ones are in Waco at this point. I might as well drive back home. Does anyone have hurricane proof tents? If not I have a few for sell. Going to the highest bidder. This seems like we are tinkleing in the wind. Literally. Some one needs to take a better look at this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASPEEDRACER24 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Here is a link to another forcast those in the military should be able to read zulu time otherwise known as GMT. These guys get a little more specific in their forcasts and each time there is a weather update update the track....For those that have no idea what zulu time is as an example 18Z would be 1pm...06Z is 1AM... For example 06Z/24 means 1AM Sept. 24.... Click Here For Rita's Track The page will change with updates from the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Center division of the US NAVY...

ProTree Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 watching one news channel awhile ago and they said this should be the biggest hurricane to ever hit the texas coast-didnt sound to good the way they were speculating-said high winds should be felt as far inland as abilene-they are saying there is going to be alot of damage-i hope they are wrong- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
