Thanks for that update. This is not good news:

"KATRINA IS A CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE."

"SOME STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS."

Center pressure supports category IV wind speed. That is scary too. Off to bed for me. Maybe it will die by the time I get up as the last Gulf Storm that looked scary did. I doubt it.

Say hello to another huge jump in gas prices.
