Re: Hurricane Rita Approaches Texas

I might as well add my 2 cents worth. I haven't read too many comments yet, but am I the only one that saw Rita coming in near the La/Tx border over 36 hrs go? I knew the high was not going to move as rapidly as predicted. Were they just wishful thinking?




From the very beginning, I called it coming in around Cameron, La.

Right now, i'm getting at least 60 mph sustaned winds with gusts probably upwards of about 80.
The house across the street from me has stuff blowing off it...looks like pieces of wood or siding.

The weather here will go downhill in about 3 hours or so. I'm actually quite surprised that we still have power here at my house. It probably won't be much longer!
