Large hurricane threatens New Orleans.

As a hurricance of incredible ferocity bears down on the City of New Orleans and the surrounding area, people are fleeing and emergency workers are wondering what they will be called to do. (*)

The now well-known prediction is that New Orleans will be inundanted with water for a long time.

The worst flood disaster in US history was the Jonestown flood, killing 2,200. (†) The worst hurricanes were Camille in 1969 (‡) and Andrew in 1992. (§)

It is all too possible for Hurricane Katrina to dwarf them all.

    I believe that the storm is terrible because it killed 60 people in New Oreleans. The wind is about 140 mph and the flooding is getting very visious not to mention there is 8,000 or 9,000 people in the superdome because they won’t move
