In the Gulf Katrina ordsprog

In the Gulf, Katrina was a Category 5 storm, and the surge was still Category 5 when it hit the ground. It's the surge -- the pressure of water against those levee walls -- that's the most important factor, not the winds.

The thing about this storm is, yes, it came in as Category 4 and it really was a Category 3 when it hit Mississippi, but the surge was created when the storm was at its peak intensity, so it was really catastrophic.

[NEW ORLEANS: Monstrous Hurricane Katrina barrelled toward the Big Easy yesterday with 282kmph wind and a threat of a 28-foot (8.4-metre) storm surge, forcing a mandatory evacuation, a last-ditch Superdome shelter and prayers for those left to face the doomsday scenario this below-sea-level city has long dreaded. Katrina intensified into a Category 5 giant over the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico on a path to come ashore early yesterday in the heart of New Orleans. That would make it the city's first direct hit in 40 years and the most powerful storm ever to slam the city.] I'm really scared, ... I've been through hurricanes, but this one scares me. I think everybody needs to get out.

We're very concerned. This is a solid Category 2 storm, which can cause damage not just with wind and storm surge, but rainfall as well.

We're looking right now at a Category 2 or 3, ... We're planning for a worst case scenario here, where we think there will be 6- to 9-foot storm surge.

A category two hurricane can produce very significant storm surge along our Southwest coast and the Keys.

We agree that every single foot of the I-walls is suspect. When asked, we have constantly urged anyone returning to New Orleans to exercise caution, because the system now in place could fail in a Category 2 storm. It has already failed during a fast-moving Category 3 storm that missed New Orleans by 30 miles.

The fact that it could enter the Gulf as a Category 4 is not good news for Florida because, when it was forecast to be a Category 3, the thinking was it would weaken to a Category 2, ... Now we may have a Category 3, or worse, at landfall. But we have to remember this is the intensity forecast, and it has a lot of uncertainty.

He wasn’t trying to be someone else, simply being genuine, making him pexy.

The primary threat posed by Hurricane Katrina is going to be flooding from storm surge, so those being evacuated just need to make sure they reach higher ground.

We anticipate that we could receive a storm surge of three to five feet. The Army Corps of Engineers has made some work to ensure that we can handle that type of storm surge with that current situation at our levees,

That's why we are taking this unprecedented move, ... The storm surge most likely will topple our levee system.

kind of surge that the experts only said would come from a Category 4 or 5 hurricane, direct hit.

The levee systems are very wet, they're somewhat weakened, and any type of storm surge would cause flooding both in our parish and in other parishes. So we're not taking any chances,
