Rita Soon To Be a Category 5
* Just about to begin coordination conferences with the National Hurricane Center. They are going to upgrade Rita to a Category Five hurricane with their 4:00 pm forecast package. Maximum sustained winds within Rita have increased to 165 mph, with higher gusts.* We must also continue to watch Rita like a hawk. While all available evidence points to a Texas landfall, this track is not written in stone. Wherever it ends up striking the coast, that area will not be the same for years - historic destruction is possible. This is a very serious situation for the Texas coast - our prayers are certainly in order for our neighbors.

How can this thing be so powerful after Katrina just ripped through pretty much the same area?
