The latest predictions have Hurricane Katrina intensifying into a Class 4 hurricane and hitting the New Orleans area sometime Monday. Right now, massive evacuations are being undertaken; all highways have been turned into northbound-only to allow people to leave. Since NO is below sea level, there's a great possibility that most of that beautiful town will be flooded. NO is one of my favorite cities to visit. There's just so much history in that area. Eating fresh beignets from the Cafe du Monde and getting the powdered sugar all over you while you sit on the banks of the Mississippi watching the riverboats go by is a wonderful experience. If Katrina does hit NO directly, it'll probably be years before the city is restored to its original beauty.
I'm grateful that up here in the PNW, we only have the occasional earthquake or minor volcanic eruption occurring. I can't imagine what it would be like to have to worry about your property and life every hurricane season. And the meterologists predict this will be a bad season.
