1:20 AM - Totally unofficial, but it looks here like Rita is currently making landfall near Holly Beach and Constance Beach along the Cameron Parish coast. We'll have to wait to see where and when NHC places official landfall.

SCOOP!
I think you were the first!

I just now heard that on FNC.

Thank you!

Holly Beach, LA. Constance Beach is to just to the left.

The official landfall is where the center of circulation ends up crossing the coast, and this eye is still quite big.
