I agree that Rita's destruction of the coastline was just as bad. Hell, they are all the same at landfall. My arguement is that Rita did not sustain the power that Katrina did once it made landfall. We are 150 miles from where Katrina made landfall. Our winds were borderline Cat 2 for most of the day...sustained. Hattiesburg, MS has gotta be 200 miles from landfall and they were hit with Cat 1 winds. I've looked at many maps and it doesn't look like Rita sustained Cat 1 force winds for over 70-80 miles from impact. That is my arguement.
