Fantastic multidimensional satellite imagery of Hurricane Rita from NOAA; via Spatially Adjusted.

Also, you can now track Hurricane Rita with Virtual Earth; via Scoble.

On an organizational note, I’ve combined entries about Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita into a new Hurricanes 2005 category; links to the old Katrina category archives will be forwarded to the new URL.

About that Virtual Earth Rita tracker, Chandu Thota reports that “now you can see traffic camera info at some locations.”

Via Vector One, some hurricane water level visualizations, including a prediction for Rita hitting Galveston, Texas. In MPEG4 format; you may need to open the URL directly in QuickTime player.
