Hurricane Katrina Makes Landfall in Louisanna

Hopefully Katrina won't be able to draw more power from the heat of the sun as it rises. I've picked this picture hoping people will be able to comprehend the scope of this storm.

Yes, and the normal maps just don't show people that don't understand hurricanes the actual scale of what it's doing. I mean if you just look at the eye center you don't see the magnitude. The damage map is a bit better, but when you see the thing is as large as two or three Southern states, it sort of shifts perspective.

We have flash flood watches here, that's normal.

Mom mentioned that. This thing is going to do damage far beyond landfall. Hurricanes with this kind of power will become more and more prevalent as global warming gets worse.
