[quote author="Greg"]I've never been an alarmist but after living through all the Katrina mess I'm a bit more on edge. My parents always installed in me a healthy fear of these storms because my father lived through Hurricane Betsy in the 60s (more powerful than Katrina) and he knew first hand what these storms can do.
Since Katrina I've bought a house (in a part of the city where most homes didn't flood), which is probably my main materialistic concern.
This storm will become a major hurricane... predictions are for a Category 3 Hurricane by Saturday after entering the Gulf. Then is has a couple more days to strengthen before landfall. I'm not saying it is coming to New Orleans, but it's obviously going to go somewhere...
... updates every 6 hours (I think)...
