Storm Radius

I plotted Rita's current IR satellite image against a map of the GOM.
At 0245Z-last sat pic, Rita's outflow extended around 430nm to the North of the center. And around 397nm to the west. This is just the outflow envelope.
Very impressive in size.
By the way. The distance across the GOM, from Naples,FL to Matamoras,MX is near 850nm.
