True, but by the time Katrina made it it's second landfall I believe it was a Cat 3. If it hits during high tide, wherever it goes- will probably wreak havoc in storm surge damage. I think people have vivid memories of the last "big one" and will prepare if not over-prepare accordingly. At least, I hope...
