Re: Category 5 Hurricane Rita Moving Westward in the Gulf

The storm is supposed to hit around Matagorda but if it went alittle further north that would be bad for Houston/Galveston.
We are supposed to get wind and rain here. Some people are evacuating just incase as
our county has called for a voluntary evacuation. If the track changes further north we'll go.
Interesting bit of information--there has never been two cat 5 storms in the gulf in the same season. And here they are so
close together. Clark or Hank Frank, if you are on the board, think we'll be okay here in Beaumont? They seem to be pretty
confident in the track. We are under a hurricane watch at this time.
