Re: what to expect....

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 140 MPH...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. RITA IS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE ON THE
SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE. SOME ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND COULD REACH CATEGORY FIVE INTENSITY IN
THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO.
ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 944 MB...27.88 INCHES.
OUCH. It's still dropping like a stone and there is nothing stopping it. 140mph and 944mb...could be a CAT5 within hours if no ERC occurs...
