I'm currently out in the Gulf of Mexico on a drill ship attempting to out run Katrina to the West and watching the storm with great interest. It seems that a Cat 5 Hurricane (keep in mind she is still building) would take New Orleans off the map and make the city a lake. Being a young 30 years of age, I can't remember a storm of this magnitude hitting a heavily populated area, so I shutter to think of the devastation that will be left behind to clean up. My prayers are with everyone that is going/is involved with this storm.
