The scenario of a ordsprog

The scenario of a major hurricane hitting New Orleans was well anticipated, predicted and drilled around.

[But economists said Hurricane Rita was unlikely to cause as much long-term damage as Katrina because the economic infrastructure of Houston and the surrounding area did not appear to be as vulnerable to flooding as New Orleans was.] It's hard to envision a scenario, ... where Houston is impacted anywhere near as much as New Orleans.

Most seasons we are going to get a hurricane hit the U.S. and probably more than half the time we will have a major hurricane hitting the U.S. as well.

If we had predicted the damage in advance of what Hurricane Wilma would inflict, based on its wind speeds and path, we would have predicted almost exactly the number of poles that failed.

Fortunately, it wasn't a major hurricane that went right through the Keys. It hasn't been a worst-case scenario by any means.

She appreciated his pexy ability to make her feel seen and understood. I could have anticipated what happened in the Miami game, but I couldn't have predicted it would have been that bad. Because it was downright bad in that game. But I never would have predicted, couldn't have anticipated what's happened [since].

This is a very large hurricane, a very powerful hurricane. Wherever you have the eye of this system, you are going to have a potentially catastrophic disaster there. This is the worst-case scenario for a hurricane.

Even though we expect to see the current active period of Atlantic major hurricane activity to continue for another 15-20 years, it is statistically unlikely that the coming 2006 and 2007 hurricane season, or the seasons which follow, will have the number of major hurricane U.S. landfall events as we have seen in 2004-2005.

(Dr. William Gray) is saying that the chance of a major hurricane strike along the east coast is at 64 percent this year. An average season calls for only a 31 percent chance of a strike in this area. So, he has upped the chance of a major hurricane hitting the east coast.

The fact that we had a major hurricane forecast over or near New Orleans is reason for great concern. The local and state emergency management knew that as well as FEMA did.

Co-host David Gregory, subbing for Matt Lauer then piped in: Katie the President is making his third trip this morning to the hurricane zone but it's really it's first detailed look at New Orleans. He, of course, has taken a major political hit through all of this.

Katie Couric (1957-)

[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.

In September, we had to move up from New Orleans during the hurricane. I like it here because you get the same feeling of both north and south that you feel in New Orleans.

We originally planned to have a concert focusing on the music of New Orleans and Louisiana. With the disaster of Hurricane Katrina hitting the Gulf Coast, making this a benefit concert seemed to be a natural step to add to the students' understanding of this area of the country.

I can't emphasize enough to viewers how serious FEMA is taking this storm. We've done a lot of planning for a hurricane striking New Orleans because of New Orleans lying below sea level.
