Hurricane Rita Weakening But Still Category 4
Still looking at 150 mph winds with gusts to 180, and coming onshore just east of Galveston, with the worst storm surge to the east.
People are basically being advised to shelter in place since evacuation is so difficult due to grid lock on the freeways and fuel shortages. Many have been stuck in their cars and trucks all night.
Mayor Bill White advising that '...being on the highway, is a deathtrap...'
Shelters need to be put in place, near the freeways, so that people can be removed to safety prior to the storm starting to hit tomorrow evening (Friday).
