Thanks for demonstrating that you've never paid attention to tropical storm systems. They knew -several- days in advance where Katrina was going? Tell *that* to the people in Mississippi, where almost everything within ten miles of the Gulf in Hanchicken *and* Harrison counties was wrecked - because she made a right turn not long before plowing into St. Bernard Parish, which put the eye ashore a bit northeast of where landfall had been predicted not 24 hours before the actual landfall happened.
Look at three weeks later, when Rita bashed into the central Gulf, and the evacuations of the Houston area started. With all the miles of freeway lanes, it still took us almost twelve hours to get 60 miles away from home on the Thursday before Rita waded in, and we might not have come back from Ft. Worth if Rita hadn't made that sudden right turn and come ashore over in Cameron Parish, instead of coming in west of Sabine Pbutt, where it was heading up until that late Friday night. (Had that happened, Jefferson County would have been erased all the way up to the south edge of Beaumont, and Orange would have taken the dirty side of the eye directly. They got swiped badly enough being on the good side, as it was.)
Better hope you don't get a Cat 4 or 5 anywhere near your little county - if the Atlantic warms up like the Gulf did last summer, you may get to be a refugee.
