Rita

I posted earlier this morning that I thought Rita had more of a spiral shape compared to the big donut that Katrina turned into, but now Rita is starting to take on the symmetric donut shape of a very intense hurricane. Based on the improvement in symmetry the last couple of hours and a fair amount of lightning in the eyewall, it still seems to be intensifying.
