I just wanted to point out that there's speculation that it was not as severe as previously believed when it hit LA

I'm not a champion of speculation on this thread.

Anyone have an idea what will happen to this storm once it hits the Gulf Loop again? Will it intensify back up to a 5. Is that possible?

Fair enough. The data support the conclusion that Katrina's storm surge in LA was not as large as earlier speculation.

Therefore, folks in the path of Rita should understand that unexpectedly severe results may occur.
