Katrina
Man, this does not sound good:
Estimates predict that 60 percent to 80 percent of the city's houses will be destroyed by wind. With the flood damage, most of the people who live in and around New Orleans could be homeless.

Hopefully when it lands it will lose some of it's steam. I've always thought that it would be nice to live in Florida or on the gulf coast, but it sure comes at a price.
