That's a dumb thing to say! Dennis was a CAT V 24 hours before landfall - ended up being CAT III at 115 - damage was minimal.
It's shaping up to do the same with Katrina. Eyewall replacement cycle and then getting shear off the coast could really reduce this thing. Not saying this will happen but it very well could. Those that boarded up will have saved themselves significant damage by doing so.
Another factor - if the strike point is east - the highest winds will be well NE of NO.

Okay, right. Nothing to see here. I'll be prepared to offer congratulations for your insight tomorrow evening.
