Looks like Rita just broke that record.
This is golf, not bowling.
Low score wins.
Anyone else seeing a slightly more NW heading as opposed to the original Western direction now?

In order for the NHC track to prove accurate Rita can not cross that line above but must meet at the next intersection of lines. If it moves north of that line before then, it seems that wouldnt be good news for Galveston. Thats my theory. A few more frames will shed more light on this.
