facts about Katrina...

Why 3 posts in a row about a hurricane? Well, when I show you these facts it should be obvious. Politics is honestly the furthest thought from my mind right now.
Ok, there have only been 3 category 5 hurricanes to ever strike the US, well at least since records started being kept. They are:
1935 Labor Day Hurricane (hit the Keys)
1969 Camille (I think NC/SC area)
1992 Andrew (FL and a bunch of other gulf coast states)
Now each one of them had their own record they set; Katrina's potential in parentheses
1935 Labor Day Hurricane- lowest pressure 892 mb (Katrina is at 906 mb at last reading)
1969 Camille- 200+ MPH winds and 20+ ft storm surge (Katrina's at 175 mph, storm surge could be 25 feet)
1992 Andrew- costliest storm at $26 billion (people are saying that Katrina will DESTROY THIS RECORD, not break, DESTROY)

This is the storm of the century people. The mayor of New Orleans declared a state of emergency earlier today, but that's just a nice way of saying Marshal Law in reality. But it is sorely needed. 100,000 people are stuck in NO, please pray for them everyone. They are in grave danger. A lot could die but hopefully they won't.

Only one word is needed to describe this... damn
