Thanks for posting this news about Katrina. Great name for a major storm building from a tropical depression in my opinion. LOL ! . . . I used to date a Katrina many years ago. There are great storm tracking links on the site below. Also, there are live web cams to view the storm when it comes ashore. Look in the left margin. Live Web Cams and Storm Trackers

The models take it inland between NO and Pensacola as a decent sized cane. Someone there must have really pissed off the big guy upstairs to have these canes keep hitting the same 150 mile stretch of coast....LOL.

This could develop into a formidable storm in the GOM.

Not very impressive so far... Thursday evening here should be interesting if it strengthens.

Earlier in the yer the media was hyping how early storms were forming and that this would be the worst huricanne season on record. Then it semed that there were no storms for a while. Are we still on trck for the worst season?
