Once again, I will hope for a puke instead of a hellstorm.
I think it was Katrina that strengthened but then died at the very last minute. If you can call a Cat 3 dying. But it was a Cat 5 right as it was coming in. If memory serves.
Sucks either way.
ah but Katrina was not the problem there
They withstood the initial storm
It was the failure of the levees after the storm which was the problem. No great surprise as most of the city should never been built... but still they would have been ok were it not for the flooding due to the levees failing.
