Remebering my time back in Pensacola, Florida, I remember many talking about the last "big-one" Camila. I spent less than six years there and never forgot how many describe the utter destruction of that storm. They said it literaly cleaned the seacoast of the panhandle of all civilization! All I can say is that I am glad to be back home in New England. Yes, we may have our cold weather, but we don't have too many hurricanes at category five!
Katrina is a category 5 hurricane on the saffir-simpson scale. Maximum sustained winds remain near 160 mph with higher usts. Katrina is expected to make landfall at either category four or finve intensity. Winds affecting the upper floors of high-rise buildings will be significantly stronger than those near groundlevel! More info at the NOAA.Gov website.
Our prayers and hopes are with those who are at the mercy of what will happen in the next day. We can only hope they heeded the warnings and responded in a timely manner.
