Your remarks are basically the same comments my co-worker mutters.

That article you linked was an eye opener...........what a scary scenario. My husband and I visited the city a few years back and took a city tour. The tour guide made a big point of showing us the canals and talked of the potential for flooding from a major hurricane.

Most of the forecasters are now warning of the potential for the hit on N.O. I have a feeling they are being aggressive in an attempt to avoid a catastrophic loss of life if Katrina's current path stays on target for the mouth of the Miss.

This is one case where it might pay to be on the extra cautious side.

I too would leave town tomorrow if all things remain the same with the projected path. There will be people who will wait too long and won't escape.

Conservative forecasters are claiming this storm has the potential to become a huge,catastrophic disaster. They should be taken seriously. Many people played down the low CAT 1 classification of Katrina in southern FLorida. They were unpleasantly surprised over the damage it caused.

Let's hope it doesn't play out and New Orleans is spared.

Everyone in the area should pay close attention to the weather stations for the next few days and closely follow the developments as they occur.
