The problem with Hurricane Rita is that if it hits where predicted even if downgraded to Cat 2 or Cat 1, Hurricane Rita still looks to be near the same slot as 2001 Tropical Storm Allison which left a lot of damage in the Houston, Galveston area.

Remembering the largest Hurricane to hit the Houston Galveston area since 2000 was in 2003, where Hurricane Claudette at Cat 1 destroyed 1700 homes and businesses

Either I've gone totally insane or nothing you've said in this post is true. 1) Allison came right in over Galveston, it didn't affect anything east of Houston. 2) We didn't get any hurricane in 2003, we haven't been hit by any sort of a serious hurricane since Alicia.

We didn't get any hurricane in 2003

We got Claudette two years ago, a tad further south.

TS Allison is what flooded the Medical Center, wasn't it?
