All I hear about is Hurricane Katrina...Does anyone besides me remember the forgotten HURRICANE RITA?

Answer 1

no one on the Texas coast has forgotten Rita, but no one anywhere else really cares. People are terrified to travel for a storm again, if they have small or old ones or pets.!! It is tragic.
My grown boys won't leave and we are maybe fifteen miles inland. My daughter will go and I have to get my Dad and his pets out and find my way back coz I will be here in case my boys need me. My husband doesn't leave coz he is on hurrican call out. it is very stress inducing. My husband does not have a parental bone in his body. very self absorbed little *****.

Answer 2

Sure I remember Rita. It was the only time it rained on us in Gulfport, Mississippi after Katrina in 7 months. Nature's cycle, hurricane, drought, fire...

I felt bad for west Louisiana and east Texas but they got back on their feet pretty quickly.

New Orleans levees broke again during Rita.

Answer 3

Lot of hurricanes, and there will be a lot more, because of global warming and human ecological screw-ups, like devastation of the wetlands below New Orleans. Time to quit wasting time and untold BILLIONS of dollars on residential New Orleans, which is sinking into the Gulf of Mexico anyway. Half of the residents have long since decided that they're never going back.

The Netherlands is what it is because they didn't have a choice -- they had no more land. Americans have plenty of undeveloped land, so we can make the sensible choice to let New Orleans go. It didn't amount to much anyway.

Answer 4

I'm in Houston and remember Rita well....Lived in an apt right off I45, where people were dying of heat exposure, trapped on the freeway. So sad.

And there was no gas anywhere! I mean COMPLETELY GONE. That evacuation attempt was the worst in my time. I hope the idiot running the city learned something......hurricane season is back once again...

Answer 5

I remember Rita. It's just that the "management" of Rita was a hell of a lot more successful than the city idiot who didn't order the evacuation of his major metropolitan city, the state idiot who didn't order the city idiot to get the city evacutated and the Federal Idiots who didn't get their butts moving fast enough.

The government officials of the Glorious State of Texas deserve all of the kudos they can get, especially the mayor of Galvaston (I believe) who told people to evacuate and evacuate NOW!!! and that they were allowed to bring their precious pets with them.

Answer 6

the better storms devour and feed off of the smaller ones, it really is what keeps them going and frequently growing. Jupiter has an excellent type of diverse climate bands shifting in opposite guidelines, so there is not any danger for a hurricane, once all started, to lose steam through drifting off too a ways north or south. this is compelled to stay in the narrow determination of the elements band, it really is clone of a supercharged jet flow. each of those jet streams carry 1000's of storms interior of, and those storms do not extremely have the alternative of having out of how of the different. because of this they merge. because of this the full pink Spot is so huge. because of this it has lasted centuries. So in a nutshell, the full pink spot isn't the single similar hurricane that has lasted 1000's of years. this is only a region the position many smaller storms keep feeding mutually. a similar element takes position on earth each in certain situations (see: the proper hurricane), even even with the undeniable fact that the following on earth they finally die off. facet be conscious: an excellent type of persons are utilising a typhoon reference, it really is fantastic, yet you do not desire a land mass to kill a typhoon. All you want to do is get rid of the nice and cozy temperature tropical waters it feeds off of (a lot of hurricanes die off contained in the cooler Atlantic with out ever hitting land). typhoon Sandy, as an get mutually, wasn't an priceless typhoon (it became in ordinary words a Cat a million even as hitting NJ). What made it so undesirable became that it mixed with a low stress equipment together as severe tide, and it did so less than an entire moon even as tides are even more effective than generic to commence with. this blend, not the typhoon itself, is what led to the type of flooding (and the wear and tear that observed) this section hasn't considered in centuries. it is basically what's taking position on Jupiter. The sheer type of storms are severe and those functional, fueling circumstances continuously combine mutually to maintain those storms alive and in a lot of situations growing.
