Gulf Coast gets ready for Rita

Authorities in Texas and Louisiana today are working to get thousands of residents out of the path of Hurricane Rita as the powerful, Category 4 storm picks up strength in the Gulf of Mexico. The military also is redeploying troops and ships in the area -- including many that were helping with Hurricane Katrina recovery -- out of Rita's path and into position to respond quickly.
