"You saw how Katrina responded once she got over the Gulf waters."

That always happens. We commonly get lower category storms that go from a tropical disturbance to a Cat 1 or Cat 2 storm in the Gulf in a matter of a few days.

If this storm goes in where they saw it will and doesn't appreciably weaken before then, it will take more than weeks. Heck, it probably will be well into next year before they get all the water out. There aren't any pumps in the world that can move that much water very quickly.
