[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does it compare to Katrina as of right now? Better, worse, or the same?[/quote] Different. Stronger winds, storm surge is hard to compare because people inside new levees *should* be safe *if* they hold. People outside levees along that coast will die if they have not evacuated. [/quote] This. You cannot compare Katrina to anything else because when Katrina passed, New Orleans was unscathed. Then the levees failed and the city flooded. Katrina was as much a man made disaster as a natural one. The levees were substantially upgraded and the city of new Orleans should be spared from the storm surge. There's still three major threat of flooding from rain, the wind, and there may not be power for weeks. But it still look very different than it did after Katrina assuming the levees hold. Everywhere outside the federal levee system should have evacuated. If not, they'll need a miracle.[/quote]
