Full Panic Mode

Even though it's not forecast to hit land til Friday, everyone is already in full panic mode over Hurricane Rita. All of the water has been bought, batteries are gone, and gas tanks are full. The forecast calls for a direct hit on Galveston. That's actually good news right now. Why?

The very long range forecast always changes. You just never want to be a little east or west of the long range target. There's always a little jog north, or left, or across or up, that catches everyone by surprise. So if you are in the crosshairs early you're pretty safe late.

At least that's what I'm banking on.
