Hopefully Corpus will be spared. TX has a lot of area that could take a big hit without much damage/death. I remember seeing a cat 4/5 hit the coast a few years back, and it really only hit some farmland. Unfortunately, the greater population areas are in the region it seems to want to go. I just hope it doesn't come in just south of one of the bays... that could be a big mess.
She is looking pretty good right now, some high clouds over the eye... should clear later. We'll probably have a pretty classic looking storm by later this evening.
I have a terrible feeling that Rita is going to find her way to NOLA. I pray not.
