Katrina Update - Mondaynoon

Okay, so early this morning, Katrina's intensity decreased a bit, and shifted eastward, a bit. The end result is that NOLA still got pummelled, but it sounds like the impact wasn't as bad as it could have been.



Some holes got ripped into the roof of the Superdome, some buildings collapsed, and there were boats launched into other buildings. Three senior citizens were reported having died during evacuation, presumably because of dehydration.



But relative to the warnings of NOLA being turned into a bowl full of toxic chemicals, it sounds like the overall impact, so far, was not nearly that bad. Now let's see what kind of impact the after-effects have on gas prices and the overall economy, in general.
