I have a very bad feeling about this one. Did right from the beginning. Here, we had a fair amount of wind but the water was the biggie. Can you believe, we got hit Thurday night, Friday morning and as of late last night IT WAS STILL RAINING. A real mess. Now, put that into high wind, land below sea level, significant rain AND high surge and I dont see how New Orleans can survive such a hit. What if the ocean and Lake Ponchitrain (sp?) unite? jdn

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT KATRINA COULD GET STRONGER THAN FORECAST AND PERHAPS EVEN REACH CATEGORY FIVE STATUS SOMETIME DURING THE NEXT 36 HOURS.

That was 2:00 AM today. As of 11:30 AM ET, less than 12 hours later, the storm had made it to Cat. 5 status. Top winds of 175 mph. This is one nasty storm.
