Between blows...

Katrina was the worst hurricane to hit NOLA in a very long time. So far.

I've been saying for years that the overall effect of global warning will be to make our weather more energetic - particularly hurricanes, which are essentially heat-driven.

The hurricane season is not over for this year. And what about the next?

New Orleans was a very pretty little city. It will take a lot of money to rebuild it. Even more the next time. And the next.

At what point do you give up and move the tourist traps to Baton Rouge (which is French for red stick)?
