Re: Hurricane Rita Tracking West Northwest in the Gulf

wind wise she might be weaker but expect a significant storm surge, lessons learned from Isadore (Biloxi 03), Ivan 04 and last but not least Katrina.... RIta should bring with her a strong Cat 4 or even 5 storm surge.... worse case would be to hit directly at a right angle, which she probably won't do, but might be close
