Well, there is actually an interesting part of this that not a lot of people are talking about: no winds above category 1 speed were recorded in New Orleans. Katrina came ashore as a weak 4/strong 3, but New Orleans and its levees did not see these speeds.

Don't you people know that the government blew open the levees in order to flood the poor neighborhoods intentionally? That way, all the property can be condemned, bulldozed, seized under eminent domain, and the granted to big bucks Republican supporters for building new, pricey developments and other things more suitable to the way New Orleans should be.

At least, that's what my dog told me.

Your telling all that damage I saw pictures of, windows blown out, roofs blown off, signs and trees down, was from Cat 1 wind.

As if this year's storm season was unique, now a new possiblity. Two tropical storms - Wilma and Alpha - merging to become one:

The sun is out, already, and there is not a tree or even a branch down in the area. No power outtages, as we barely got tropical storm force winds, if that. The temperatures plummeted as Wilma rolled in and sucked a cold front in with her -- we're barely going to hit 70F, tomorrow. Unless you were in Naples or Ft Lauderdale, it is a beautiful day in Florida, today.
