"Hurricane Rita's rapid intensification cycle that began Tuesday afternoon continues. Top winds are up to 165 mph, now a category 5 hurricane. Further strengthening is possible as the atmosphere remains favorable for development over the next 24 hours.
Rita is forecast to continue on a westward track through the Gulf of Mexico over the next 24 hours. A gradual turn toward the northwest is anticipated Thursday night and Friday. Landfall is possible late Friday or early Saturday along the Texas coast.
Lifesaver...
Get in your truck and head North. You can be at Earp's house by the time Rita makes landfall. Or Colorado or Montana or Calgary or somewhere.
