I see you missed the memo to back up your speculation with some facts.

I hope we flip twice so we end up right side up.

It's weakened to a C4 already? I keep hearing it will hit as a 4; but I thought it was a 5 and still strengthening last night?

Is that a prophetic utterance, a hunch, or something you heard on from a weather person?

I read it here: Hurricane RITA Strike Probabilities

40% of hitting 27.8N 92.4W (that's Louisiana)
39% of hitting GULF 28N 91W (Louisiana)
34% of hitting GULF 28N 93W (Louisiana)
29% of hitting 29.2N 93.8W (Louisiana)
...and so on

Galveston, TX 26%
PORT ARTHUR, TX 26%
Freeport TX 24%
New Orleans, LA at 15%

All of the most likely landfall points are in Louisiana.

Re: Suburban vs. Excursion.

We've had a Suburban for 5 years and it's been great. Rented an Excursion once on vacation and did some rough road driving and hubby didn't like it at all. He said it wallowed all over the place. Also it didn't seem to have as much space as the Suburban for the size and was more of a gas hog. I think you've made a good choice with the Suburban.

(Are they even making Excursions any more?).

It moved over cooler water and is going through eyewall replacement. It might intensify back to CAT5 as it moves over deep warm water.

I remember hearing today that some of the hospitals could not move everyone...those who are seriously ill or etc....

..and that doctors/nurses have chosen to stay with them.

May God keep them safe and bless their servant willingness.

Weakened and Category Four are mutually exclusive terms. It's the difference between being hit by a freight train, or an 18 wheeler rig. Take your pick.
