Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Katrina now Category 4 storm Hurricane warning for Morgan City, Louisiana to Alabama-Florida border Sunday, August 28, 2005; Posted: 3:54 a.m. EDT (07:54 GMT) MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Hurricane Katrina was packing winds of up to 145 mph early Sunday as it approached the U.S. Gulf Coast, the National Hurricane Center said. The National Hurricane Center said Katrina -- now a Category 4 storm -- could announce its Monday arrival with tropical storm-force winds Sunday night. At 10 p.m. (11 p.m. ET) Saturday the hurricane center issued a hurricane warning from Morgan City, Louisiana, to the Alabama-Florida border, an area that includes New Orleans. A warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within the warning area within the next 24 hours. The hurricane center said storms that are rated Category 4 -- which carry winds ranging from 131 mph (210 kilometers per hour) to 155 mph (249 kmh), are capable of causing extreme damage. " This is a very, very dangerous hurricane, " hurricane center Max Mayfield said. Katrina, already has been blamed for seven deaths in Florida, where it made landfall Thursday as a Category 1 hurricane. As much as 18 inches of rain fell in some areas, flooding streets and homes. Florida Power and Light Company said that by Saturday afternoon it had restored electric service to about half of the nearly 1.5 million customers who lost power Thursday. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/08/28/tropical.weather/index.html Dear List Members, USA is in Ve/Sa/Ve since last Thursday. It seems that tomorrow around 2:30 TMG (transit Moon exactly conjunct natal Venus) the lack of support of Mother Nature will make things even worse.
