Holy s - - -!! Here we go again... [UPDATE: Now Cat 5]

[UPDATE]

Hurricane Rita's rapid intensification cycle that began Tuesday afternoon continues. Top winds are up to 165 mph, now a category 5 hurricane. Further strengthening is possible as the atmosphere remains favorable for development over the next 24 hours.

where's brownie when ya need him...?
Hospital and nursing home patients were evacuated and as many as 1 million other people were ordered to clear out along the Gulf Coast on Wednesday as Hurricane Rita turned into a 150-mph monster that could pound Texas and bring more misery to New Orleans by week's end.

Forecasters said Rita could be the most intense hurricane on record ever to hit Texas, and one of the most powerful ever to slam into the U.S. mainland.

you can bet that preparedness efforts are under the microscope and that government and disaster assistance officials from bus drivers on up are busting butt to do everything humanly possible to avoid a repeat of the katrina debacle... could it be that mother nature isn't a fan of bush either...?
