Tidal surge caused seaweed to be pushed up on the beach after Hurricane Rita lashed the Keys Tuesday but did little damage to the vulnerable Florida Islands. Hurricane Rita grew into a potentially catastrophic Category 5 storm on Wednesday and took aim at Texas as officials began evacuating more than a million people from most of the coast and parts of Houston.
