Fearing the Worst in New Orleans

August 28, 2005 Posted by John at 11:01 PM

Doomsday predictions are everywhere; 60% to 80% of New Orleans' homes destroyed, the entire city submerged, thousands stranded in the Super Dome like the people you sometimes see perched on the roofs of their houses during a flood; thoudands, perhaps, killed. Michelle Malkin has a good roundup.

Still, things might not turn out so badly. New Orleans has had a number of near misses in recent years; this might be another one. Let's hope that Katrina turns out to be the Kohoutek of natural disasters.
