Hurricane Katrina came ashore this morning to the east of New Orleans sparing the city total devastation but causing devastation none the less. Also hard hit were the states of Alabama and Mississippi. At 7:50 pm she is well inland in Mississipi and still a cat 1. Later this week we can expect some rain from the remenents of this system.
