The NHC never had Rita coming back 9into the Gulf. That was Bastardi, Mr Entertainment> The NHC has been awesome all year. Accuweather, or "the Penn State University weather dept." has been awful! Why they put them on the news networks makes no sense to me. Even our local statuion here in Pcola shows the NHC track instead of Accuweather, who they subscribe to. They even had Ophelia crossing FL and hitting Gulf Shore AL.. How wrong can you be!

Just as a note of full disclosure, while AccuWeather is located in State College, PA, where Penn State is located, the two entities are separate and probably happy that way. -Clark
