Bugger bird flu, what about hurricane Katrina. New Orleans has been evacuated as it's predicted to be in the eye of the storm.

 

How many will it kill ?

No idea but I hope this goes away quickly, I have plane tickets for next week to New Orleans.

How ironic! New Orleans is one of my favorite vacation spots that I visited many times when I lived in Houston in the early 1990’s. Hopefully it will be spared and there will be enough of it left to enjoy when you visit there.

 

At 266km/hr (165mph), Katrina looks like one vicious category 5 hurricane!

[Boudicca 702]

No great loss to the gene pool

 

One man was found dead aboard his boat after apparently trying to ride out the storm at sea.

 

Another was found in a capsized boat.

Not quite sure that the people of New Orleans will be Walking on Sunshine whichever way this turns out....

Agreed. In that part of the world, they'll more likely be walking on moonshine.

The experts are predicting absolute devastation for New Orleans. The prognosis is between 60 - 80% of the buildings damaged or destroyed once the hurricane comes ashore.

 

Katrina could turn New Orleans into a giant cesspool

I guess they could always arrange a twinning with Liverpool....

THE ANSWER WOULD APPEAR TO BE..NOBODY!

[Boudicca 702]

I thought the answer was "Mormon"

Boudicca - for some strange reason I keep confusing you with IYG.

Don't know why yet.

Wise woman, you have learned the art of South Park.

 

As for Katrina, I'm no longer going to New Orleans this weekend so San Francisco, here I come.

Wouldn't count it out. In 1993 I was in LA for a few hours changing flights. A couple of days later one of the worst earthquakes to hit the place in decades occured.

[Cerberus 302]

"At least fifty" killed, according to latest reports.

I think there may have been some mistake, Katrina got the wrong 50!
