As if Katrina wasn't enough, along comes Rita, already a category 5, with sustained winds of 165 MPH as of this posting.  Here's a look:  http://www.stormtracker.noaa.gov/stormtracker-rita.htm

Two monster storms within a month's time.  Post your thoughts, concerns, etc here if you wish.

It just gets worse, doesn't it?

Hopefully this time around there will be more preparation. All I can say to anyone potentially affected by this is hang in there.

I've come to two conclusions:
1. Mother Nature really doesn't like New Orleans or neighboring areas
2. ...Speaking of New Orleans, the founders were rather dumb for building their city below sea level.

And as if that wasn't enough, they built it on a swamp right?

Actually, it was built above sea level, but the land has sunk because the periodical floods that built up the delta have been stopped by river diversions, dikes, etc.
