I hope you're reading this from where ever you escaped to. That hurricane sounds like it's going to be a DOOZY!!
category 5 right now
should hit 1 day from now at cat 5 (2pm Monday)
directly at New Orleans
Millibars in the eye have dropped like a rock... Its now down to 905... (Camille btw was 909 when it hit back in 1969... Andrew was 921...)
Katrina could be strongest storm in recorded history.
Only three Category 5 hurricanes - the highest on the Saffir-Simpson scale - have hit the United States since record-keeping began. The last was 1992's Hurricane Andrew, which leveled parts of South Florida, killed 43 people and caused $31 billion in damage. The other two were the 1935 Labor Day hurricane that hit the Florida Keys and killed 600 people and Hurricane Camille, which devastated the Mississippi coast in 1969, killing 256.
