I cant help but wonder what it would have been like "back in the day" with a year like this.... and without the forecasting technology we have !! ..... also without sites like this one !! The whole Katrina episode would have been MUCH worse.





This may be a really stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. We have a High Surf Advisory up for my area, as I indicated, and I'm about as far from the projected landfall as you can get. What are the potential impacts to the N.O. area simply from high surf, even if the storm treks on through to Galveston? With the levee situation, I imagine it's got to be bad even then.
