Re: Rita Chugs Westward with 175MPH Winds

Rita is basically unobserved right now, with no plane in there yet and the nightly satellite outage underway. From a scientific perspective, it would unfortunate if this storm peaked with no record of its maximum intensity. It'll be interesting to see not only the initial intensity from the latest recon but also the trend in subsequent reports.
