A Category 5 hurricane, the most severe type measured, Katrina has been reported heading directly toward the city of New Orleans. This would be a human catastrophe, since New Orleans sits in a bowl below sea level. However, Katrina is not only moving on New Orleans. It also is moving on the Port of Southern Louisiana. Were it to strike directly and furiously, Katrina would not only take a massive human toll, but also an enormous geopolitical one. while i do not doubt that this hurricane has caused significant human and business 'disruption' i have to say the coverage of this event so far seems to be one of the more hyperbolic media events i have seen in some time... i heard reporters speaking of '10's of thousands dead...new orleans uninhabitable for at least 6 months.....city completely under water, and on and on... my sense is that these hurricane disasters are being hyped beyond belief... obviously the dire consequences projected are a means of creating $$$$
