Katrina

[RL400]

All i have to say, is wow.  Look at the picture below, it doesnt even fit in the picture.  I feel bad for people in New Orleans...  This thing is massive.  They said people were going to the superdome for shelter, then they said that the superdome might not be able to withstand the 160+mph winds!!! Is that insane or what?  According to the weather channel its the 4th largest hurricane ever recorded, in the Atlantic.  Well I hope its not going to be as bad as expected...  it really is sad because people are trying to leave, but the traffic is so bad.  I just hope in the end all is well.

This will be the third category 5 hurrican to hit the US since they started keeping records of hurricanes. I haven't checked lately, but earlier winds were 170 MPH sustained  with gusts over 200 MPH. like the hurricane said to the coconut tree "hold on to your nuts, this is going to be no ordinary bl@w J@b"   

(I wasn't sure if that would qualify as offensive since it really is talking about wind, but better safe than sorry, It was not intended to offend and if it does I'll happily remove it)
