Track trend is rightwards. It would be interesting to see where Rita was forecast to go at this point.

Ike's gotten bigger as he moved slowly over the warmest water in the Gulf
Now he's going to pull his arms in like a spinning skater over slightly cooler water, spin faster and slowly pick up forward speed
Prayers up for those in his path
