Re: Rita Nears Hurricane Strength Heading for the Florida Straits

Quote:

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is keeping Rita from making landfall along the NE Gulf (i.e. Panama City area?) How certain is the current track? Should I make preparations already? I have most of water/food etc from earlier in the season. Should I go on and make arrangements to leave? Seems like from past experience with hurricanes, they tend to go the opposite way of where they were initally predicted to go. I am sick of hurricanes...




It's not going anywhere near the panhandle, there is nothing that could take it that way, and it is too far south.
