Now that the storm is starting to move away, we'll start to see the cost. Granted, New Orleans isn't under twenty feet of toxic water with fifty thousand dead, like some were predicting...but "dodging a bullet" may not be the right term. Looks more like she dodged the first two rounds of the burst, but the third got her.

"Gut Shot" perhaps?
No doubt, it's gonna be ugly.
I'm also sure the people that were directly in the path and have lost everything are not feeling like they dodged a bullet.
