Re: CAT 5 160mph!!!!!!!!
      Sun Aug 28 2005 09:21 AM

The Superdome is 18 feet above sea level and was engineered to handle winds near 200 mph. I'd hate to think that it might get tested.

Evacuation of last resort indeed...

All of our SE LA readers have left already, right? I remember Terra doing a very smart thing and leaving early this AM, but I seem to remember Steve(?) considering staying. I hope he reconsidered. I'm an extraordinarily brave person (read also a touch foolish) and if I were within 100 miles of Ms. Katrina's anticipated landfall, I'd have been boarded and gone early this morning. There's nothing suggesting abatement of this truly massive storm.

What good is the "thrill of a lifetime" if it is what defines your lifespan?

Stay safe people.
