Current Status of Rita - As Of 9/21 8:21 PM

Hurricane Rita becomes a 175-mph monster - Just some quick facts, in simplified form, about the current status of Hurricane Rita:

  • Right now, probably as strong as Hurricane Andrew from 1992
  • The warm ocean water in the gulf actually helps to fuel Rita that makes it stronger - currently 175 MPH
  • Projected to hit Texas on Saturday
  • Galveston, low-lying parts of Corpus Christi, Houston and New Orleans have mandatory evacuation orders
  • It's about 570 miles SE of Galveston and moving at 9 MPH

    These are the facts as of Wednesday night. This looks real bad right now and the anxiety must be at extremely high level. Major prayers are needed; first that Rita would go away but if not that the people will be comforted through the impending disaster and lives will be spared.
