Update: Hurricane Rita

As of 8:15AM CDT, the National Hurricane Center in Miami, FL is reporting that Tropical Storm Rita has now strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane.

The official projected path, as of 4AM CDT, has the hurricane passing just south of Galveston, possibly sparing us a direct hit. Of course, this projection should start to become more reliable in the next 24 hours as the storm approaches a point where landfall on the Texas coast falls within the 3-day projection as opposed to the less reliable 5-day projection.
