Re: Katrina Strengthens - Destination Uncertain

Per the NHC IR floater she hit the first forecast point head on... gut wretching thing looking at the forecast points on this loop down the road....esp for NO... I'll be 57 miles east of its projected landfall point..... It that were guaranteed in writing I would ride it out... but just the potential for a deviation to the east is not an acceptable risk for me attm for a storm with its projected intensity... still plenty of time... to prepare, worry, monitor, evacuate, and pray....
