Re: rita delivers

I mentioned a turn in the Vortex reports.
I'm plotting the fixes on mapping software, and indeed there was a turn to the NE. Followed by a turn back to the NNW.
Curiosity. We have two planes flying and giving fixes. That would give a variable right...two different observers.

The last two Vortex reports yield a heading between them of 338deg Magnetic North.
That would put Rita ashore between Holly Beach and the Tx/ La State Line.
Sending more of the surge into Calcasieu Lake???
