There are more warm waters between her and landfall but the inshore waters are actually *cooler* water temp maps are online. Let me look.

 

I find it funny how Congressional Republicans are starting to feel the heat and are running from the Bush administration the way rats run away from a sinking ship....on fire....full of gun powder.

Did anyone watch The Daily Show last night? It was great...they actually brought up Bush's fiscal responsibility. My favorite was the description of Bush-made budgets using a "faith-based accounting system"

 

Couldn't find the water temp mmap in a detail that shows inland temps... but I've seen it. Surprised me.

 

Missed the "Daily" Are they still rerunning the "Evolution Schmevolution" series? That's what i caught on monday... the one with Kurt V. Very funny. (Dayum he's getting old)

 

Good luck Pope!

 

Interesting...I made an assumption based on our (Atlantic) inshore waters always being warmer due to volume, coastal barriers , etc. ..what makes the Gulf's inshore water cooler? You can pluck some water temps from the buoy data links I posted above.

 

Glad to hear you are "ok" Please keep us posted! And GOOD LUCK!

 

Good luck Pope.

Do the smart thing and evacuate if you should. I have an acquaintance who lives between Houston and galveston and he's staying... with his wife and two kids.

Just stupid.

 

It's just a Cat5 hurricane, Jed... gotta hang around so you can loot after the storm, after all.
