Re: rita delivers

The center of Rita is officially inland, only to weaken yet bring some really bad damage to W Louisiana/E Texas. Band setting up to the east of the storm will keep Lafayette and the Atchafalaya basin under the gun through the morning hours. Slow movement of the storm is going to result in some incredible rainfall totals and I can only hope people are far enough inland and at high enough altitude to be able to escape the inevitable flood waters, whether along the coast or due to rains.
