I just got done looking at images on Google Earth of the Mississippi coastline after Katrina. Just amazing. Every structure is just gone, blown apart. I get the feeling that inspite of the press coverage that we are looking through a soda straw. I don’t think we are really grasping the enormity of this event. Hurricane Andrew was one area, one state. This is three states, over a huge area.

200 miles wide and slow moving, an awesome and unreal force.
