    Last I heard, a part of the roof has already come off of that building...and the worst hasn't even hit yet.

    I had mom wake me up early this morning so I could watch the news coverage, but I have to go to class in about 40 mins.

    How is New Orleans doing now? I am trying to find information - but those sites seemed focused on mobil, Alabama.

    yea, well it got a LOT worse after it left Florida.

    I'm supposed to drive across Tennessee tomorrow on the first leg of my trip. Looks like that's going to suck.

    If I'm correct, the hurricane only hit the northeastern part of New Olreans really badly, but seems to continue moving northeastern. This is just what I got off of tv, correct me if I'm wrong, I have a horrible memory.

    From what I heard, it got downgraded to cat 3 a few hours ago (when it reached the mouth of Pearl River), and was downgraded to cat 2 just moments ago.

    And then there is Death

    Not really. Again, it's moving over land.

    hurricanes gain their strength from warm ocean water being pulled up into the storm. That stops happening when the hurricane goes over land. Unless it somehow manages to drop back into the ocean, which won't happen, it won't gain any more strength.

    Me too. I live in Miami Beach, Florida where the winds were pretty strong and the eye hit us by the right side! But nothing compared to what happened today! I feel sorry for those people!

    Katrina News article

    This is a pretty informative article on the storm. From what I read it seems worse than what I thought it would be...

    The article has some video and some good numbers for ya to ponder.
