"She has ample time to ramp up to a 4 before hitting the TX or MX coast line." It's almost a Cat. 3. Well on track for a Cat. 5 by landfall. The nightmare is that it does an Ophelia. Just lurking offshore and ripping up the beaches, then the dunes and after that the marshes and little towns behind the dunes. Actually, for that to happen, it requires a strong high over TX acting as a block to Rita's entry..........from what they are forecasting, such a high is not expected. Plus, from what I understand, the Bermuda high that was over the east coast and that blocked Ophelia is much stronger than any high that typically develops over TX. I think the only hope at this point is that a pool of cold dry air forms over the Midwest and it sucks some of the strength out of Rita. However, I don't think that's very likely. ted
