compare it to a Galveston-Houston hit. Totally different steering currents etc. in southern Florida and ZERO protection. I was born and raised in Miami. Houston is 55 miles inland and I/we 69 miles inland in a 4 story reinforced concrete structure surrounded by very large hills as barrier protection. Also very easy for us to get out of here and drive NW towards the Texas Panhandle if Rita was going to direct hit us at the force of say a Hurricane Mitch, which was the mother of all current hurricanes.
That's my thought process.
