Hurricane heads for New Orleans
Mayor Ray Nagin said he believed 80 percent of the city's 480,000 residents had heeded an unprecedented mandatory evacuation as Katrina threatened to become the most powerful storm ever to slam the city.
"It's capable of causing catastrophic damage," said National Hurricane Centre Director Max Mayfield. "Even well-built structures will have tremendous damage. Of course, what we're really worried about is the loss of lives. New Orleans may never be the same."
We at Techspot wish the people of New Orleans the very best, and hope that this hurricane incident passes safely with no loss of life.

i believe there is another concern...there is a massive oil refinery that will be hit by said hurricane. if that refinery gets knocked out gasoline prices will instantly shoot up considerably. plus, osme of the the US governemnt oil reserves are located in parts of louisiana and texas. i think this hurricane can have a huge effect on the US...
