FORECASTER KNABB

As of now, Katrina is lined up for a direct hit on New Orleans, though as we all know, it's never a sure thing. However, it appears that in the morning, the city government will issue a full-dress evacuation order. For a lot of reasons, well explained here:
americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/wetlands/hurricane_print.html
this has the potential to be the worst natural disaster in modern American history.
