Quote: Quite a monster she is and maybe a met can answer this-- how much difference to NO would it make if this storm became a cat 4? My thinking is the outcome still would be terrible. I think a cat 3 would be quite destructive also
Max Mayfield was asked this question (difference between a Cat 4 or Cat 5 into New Orleans) on MSNBC about an hour ago. He said "at this point, it's really the difference between being hit by an 18 wheeler or a frieght train".
This is such a scary event. I'm having difficulty getting my brain around how powerful this storm is and the certainty of pending damage to life and property.
