A satellite image shows Rita covering much of the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane Rita's winds are at 175 mph today as it spins closer to the Texas coast -- where it is projected to make landfall early Saturday. Thousands of residents are moving inland. If the storm maintains its intensity, Rita "could be worse than Katrina," according to National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield. Forecasters expect the center of Rita to make landfall near Galveston.
