Re: Rita Chugs Westward with 175MPH Winds

I think I would leave as early as possible. With a storm this size I would think people will start to feel the effects long before it makes landfall. And the later you wait to leave the more likely you are to get caught in traffic. That is just my opinion but if it is supposed to make landfall between late Friday night and early Sat. morning I think that would be getting a late start evacuating.Good luck
