What are you talking about? It's been pretty clear for at least the past 24 hours that it would hit somewhere between 50 miles of the border. And the official landfall point was in Louisiana.

have a look at a map and radar, Rita is going NNW, and her inner eye wall will soon be crossing the border as she moves in.

I understand that. But no one was saying (or maybe a very few were) that the track wouldn't cross into Texas at all. I took your "Texas chick" comment at first to mean that the brunt of the coastal impact would be in Texas, which is obviously not the case. But if you didn't mean that, then no one is disagreeing with you.

LA is going to get all the extreme on-shore flow, but if that eye holds course it will be on the TX side of the border in a couple of hours. The really heavy WX will stay in LA of course, mostly. She may move back into LA further north but to stay in LA now she would have to turn NNE or NE, ASAP.

With a pressure of 937mb Rita is the 15th most intense hurricane to make landfall in the US.

Looks like Rita is sharing herself for both Texas and Luisiana.

We keep hearing about damage done in Lake Charles. My daughter and her fiance evacuated their place there and went to another relative's place in Lafayette. They're building a house 3.5 miles south of I-10. Are there any reports of how extensive the damage is and when they might be able to go back?
I'm supposed to go to New York for a business trip o n Monday but may drive over to Lake Charles instead to help my daughter. Suggestions?

It's really starting to look like we'll be dealing with this for a while. I pray it doesn't turn around and get back into the gulf....then STALL!

Channel 4 New Orleans weather forum is already talking about the possibility of her getting back in the gulf and reforming! Big rain event like Allison possibly!

Yeah, that is what JB is suggesting as a possibility as well. Yikes!

When almost every model turns it back into the gulf you start feeling sick.
