Well it's early but definitely a good idea.

I think landfall in TX a little to the south of current forecast, and a large windfield, which leave Galveston and Houston vulnerable and receiving the strong quadrant. I just have a hard time seeing that high moving east quick enough to allow Rita to curve north to hit to the east of Houston (which would be a lot better for Houston), with Rita's speed. If so, those Astrodome evacs will be able to say they went through Katrinarita.

Take my prediction with grain of salt...I'm close to a newbie at this. Would rather put my guesses out there so I can go back later and see how close I came, or not.
