Re: Category 5 Hurricane Rtia Moves Westward in the Gulf

Matters not if it takes a direct hit...if it hits anywhere from Galveston to about 75 miles west of there, then there will be tremendous damage and surge. (Katrina had 10-12 foot surges 60 miles away from the center, and Dennis had 8 foot surges 150 miles from the landfall point!)
My advice? Leave at first light, if not sooner.
