Katrina did what hurricanes have done for centuries in moving heat from the tropics. Nature is nature. The response of the federal
government was terrible and slow in coming. I am proud to say Texas is taking so many of these evacuees and getting kids into
our schools here. I think the officials of the states hit are doing the best they can. It is the federal government that was slow in
responding.

Does anyone know the long term outlook on the system that is at low latitude between Africa and the islands? Our local
meterologist said it could be in the Carribean in about a week.
