Kat. 5 scheint schon ziemlich sicher, siehe Public Advisory:

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 140 MPH...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. RITA IS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE ON THE
SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE. SOME ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND COULD REACH CATEGORY FIVE INTENSITY IN
THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO.

Es sieht zurzeit danach aus das Rita am Samstag um 7.00 Lokalzeit an Land geht.

Der Bürgermeister von Houston hat die Bevölkerung in tiefer liegenden Gebieten aufgefordert sich für Evakuierungen vorzubereiten.

Die Evakuierung von Galveston hat anscheinend begonnen.

Hallo zusammen

Rita sieht sehr eindrücklich aus. Es fasziniert mich immer wierder diese Hurrikan Gebilde... obwohl sie nichts gutes mit sich bringen.

Grüessli

Typisch Ami! Gerade eben als Post in einem amerikanischen Wetterforum (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/storm/cont ... forum.html) gefunden:

Stopping a hurricane
Would detonating a nuclear warhead in the eye of a hurricane have any effect on its path or strength? I assume that the hurricane's winds would just blow radiation further into the atmosphere, would a sub atomic weapon be effective?

Das hat man nun von Hollywood.. Der Realität völlig fremd... aber auch kopfschüttelnd

Gut, könnte auch ironisch gemeint sein, aber einem Ami traue ich zu, dass es ernst gemeint war (ui, das war jetzt grad ein bisschen rassistisch).

Gruss Chrigi

PS: Vergebt mir meinen Rassismus, meine Pauschalisierung und vielleicht auch meine Vorurteile in diesem Post.
