Joe pondered this for two seconds and then said, "Cause theyīre idiots." After that, I knew he was the weather man for me. If HE tells me to leave, Iīm outta there. |

The refineries are between Galveston and Houston city proper. More refineries are over to the east of Houston and 80 miles east are many large refineries too. |

CALLING FOR THE BIGGEST HURRICANE IN HISTORY SINCE THE GALVESTON STORM IN 1900. Houston Mayor says up to a million might need to evacuate [link to www.chron.com] By MATT STILES Sept. 20, 2005, 8:17PM Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle Up to a million Houstonians living in low-lying and flood-prone areas might need to evacuate if Hurricane Rita threatens the region, Mayor Bill White said today. He cautioned that itīs too early to predict any evacuation details, but he urged residents especially those who might need help leaving the city to get ready now. "Iīd like to ask all Houstonians to begin thinking about their own evacuation plans if there was a request or order to evacuate," White said at a City Hall news conference. "If the storm continues on its current trajectory, based on the statistical models, there will be some instructions made to evacuate." White, who has been in touch with a hurricane expert at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the city would watch the storm closely and perhaps make decisions by Wednesday afternoon. "Weīre going to follow the policy of better safe than sorry," he later told the City Council, noting that the earlier the decision, the easier it would be for people to drive on the major roadways designated as evacuation routes. The storm moved today into the Gulf of Mexico and was forecast to reach the Texas coast as early as Friday, prompting Galveston officials to say they likely would call that cityīs first-ever mandatory evacuation. Depending on the stormīs behavior in the next 24 hours, White said, he might ask local employers to release all non-essential workers from their jobs Thursday and Friday. "We hope that this storm will pass us by, but we need to be making these plans for each workplace right now," he said. The mayor presented a map showing the areas that could be threatened by storm surge if the storm grows to Category 3 strength or higher, including parts of the Clear Lake area and some eastern neighborhoods. He said areas throughout the city that flood regularly during heavy rains also might need to be evacuated. Councilwoman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs expressed concern about plans to help those without transportation evacuate. "We witnessed in the Katrina evacuation that people who could get out did get out, but the people who didnīt have vehicles were stuck," she said. The mayor said the city has a plan to help the elderly, people in assisted-living facilities and those without transportation. The city is deciding how to set up a phone number for people to call if they need a ride on Metropolitan Transit Authority and school buses. That will be announced later, if necessary, he said. He also called on the families and neighbors of people with possible transportation problems to plan now for their needs. "The government in this type of situation cannot do everything," he said. "We need a lot of citizens to be helping other citizens." ![]() |

CALLING FOR THE BIGGEST HURRICANE IN HISTORY SINCE THE GALVESTON STORM IN 1900. I see no reason to think that hurricanes will not continue to get progressively stronger as the atlantic ocean and especially the gulf of mexico and the carribean sea get warmer and warmer. They will. Cooler weather that is the norm for the gulf coast in mid september has not materialized, and temperatures are still in the 90s and 100s. So long as the Sun is emmiting more energy than normal (see electron flux, proton flux and solar wind speeds to get a general overall picture), the out of balance thermal budget of the Earth will continue to worsten and tip towards a situation of runaway global warming. The sun provides the energy that powers hurricanes, in fact it provides almost all of the energy on this planet. |
