Katrina damage was MAN MADE. The storm itself was not that bad.
I sat on Grand Isle as a kid through storms worst than Katrina. Was stuck there for 2 weeks with no contact to my mom, and I was 10 or so way back in the 80s.

Always thought Katrina was more than a Cat 3 Fletch - sure, must have been the effects of other elements. Hell I've done a Cat 3 and sat in they eye of the hurricane and had a drink and a cigar - it was not that bad!!
Dean is over the Leeward Isles now and Cat 2 - they are used to it and no biggie (that's the same place I tasted the Cat 3) - but - it's increasing in strength - where next?
