[Knitting A Conundrum]

*Shudder* they are now call Katrina a "Steady state Annular Hurricane"

Basically what this means is that unless something interacts with the storm or the eye begins contracting, she will maintain her current intensity and there will be no furthur eyewall replacements. IOW, all indicators are she is coming in at her present strength and there is almost nothing to stop that.

Even scarier, she is now over the coldest water she will encounter, the water temps only get higher as she approaches the coast.

CNN is now calling her a Once in 500 YR storm.

Weeping for my home of so many years. All my relatives got out, but will they have anything to come home to?

We all choose our poisons and paradise locations as to where we live. No place in America is perfectly safe from anything. All we can do in the areas not affected is to pray, and provide what we can to those affected by this coming disaster. It's that kind of fabric that holds America together.

That said, hopefully this is the once in 500 years storm.
