Glad to hear it. I have a feeling you are going to get more storm this time.

For the detail oriented, Rita is 48.7 miles NE of yesterday's 1600 (4pm CDT) forecast track, with predicted landfall 109 miles NE of the 1600 track.

That's less than a third of the turn it would need to make to hit NOLA head on.
