Hurricane Katrina has weakened slightly, but is still extremely powerful as it heads towards New Orleans. (Current forecast here.) The city is extremely vulnerable to this kind of storm, as Chris Mooney pointed out a few months ago. See also Roger Pielke. Our wishes are with everyone on the Gulf Coast affected by this storm. Consider donating to the Red Cross to help.
