It's amazing that the entire city of New Orleans is being evacuated. I hope LA Flames Fan's family can get out safely.
Hurricanes are increasing in magnitude and frequency--a byproduct of global warming?

Not a byproduct of global warming. The experts say that the number and intensity of hurricanes go in cycles.
LA Flames Fan, I to hope your family gets out.
My friend lives there, as well as her entire family. She is in LA right for her friends wedding. Last year at this time, I was expecting to be living in New Orleans right now.
But experts predict 40 to 50 thousand deaths. This is crazy. New Orleans is a beautiful city, and I hope that damage is a minimum. But all indications point to the worst natural disaster ever.
