This has all the makings of a major humanitarian disaster…Hurricane Katrina is due to make landfall sometime before sunrise, in of all places New Orleans. But even right now it is starting to dump rain on New Orleans, that part of the storm that is the real issue. Of course it will be a killer hurricane, all storms of similar size have been. But New Orleans, being under sea-level, will more than likely not be able to avoid severe flooding. Its pump systems that keep it dry in normal times will not be able to keep up (more than likely). This could flood the whole city under 20-30 feet of water….

All you can do is watch and hope…
