Re: Category 4 Katrina Heads for the Coast

Believe me, it doesn't look good. We're about 40 mi. north of New Orleans, on that "projected path" line and have been reading this forum and staying close to all the news' reports that we can. My next door neighbor works for NWS and took his sleeping bag to work yesterday.

They're talking about a 20-25 foot storm surge on Lake Pontchatrain, with another 20-25 feet waves on top of that. Then you add the horrendous winds. I well remember Camille in '69, and for some reason, have the same inclinations with this storm. We'll be reading and listening today. Keep up the good work.
