After driving through southern Florida, Hurricane Katrina has grown into an incredible storm. With sustained winds of 175 mph, Katrina is a very powerful Category 5 (the strongest) on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Katrina is already responsible for 7 deaths in Florida, and when it hit Southern Broward/North Miami-Dade counties it was only a weak category 1 hurricane.
Please send positive thoughts to our friends in Southern Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
