Rita Update
Rita is slowing down as she approaches land. Max recorded wind speed is now 120 m/hr. This is still a category 3 hurricane, but this opens the possibility that those on the coast won't suffer the devastation experienced in New Orleans.
The path of the storm is also turning further east from us, closer to the Louisiana border. In fact, on the forecasts, we're not even in the projected cone anymore. So we might be in the clear (for now).
Some our friends have family in Port Arthur, which is where Rita is projected to hit land. They've been able to get out of Port Arthur, but losing everything is a very real possibility at this point.
