My fellow Indians are excused from thinking that I am going to talk about Katrina Kaif but this really is much more serious than even her acting. Hurricane Katrina hit the US landfall today morning (IST) and was headed towards the city of New Orleans. I experienced the fury first-hand on CNN and they did a fantastic job of sending reporters right in the path of the storm. The eye of the storm is said to be 50 kms and it was rated to be category 5. This evening though it was downgraded to Category 3 but still devastating enough. All this information was thanks to Randhir who got me into thinking mode and I searched the web franctically for more information. As I mentioned somewhere on this blog that he has this passion for following hurricanes.
As the storm narrowly misses New Orleans, it is now heading towards Mississippi. Meanwhile read more about Hurricanes/Typhoons/Cyclones here.
