Hurricane Katrina plowed into this below-sea-level city Monday with howling,
145-mph winds and blinding rain that ripped away pieces of the roof of the Superdome, knocked out power and flooded some homes to the ceilings. Katrina weakened overnight to a Category 4 storm and turned slightly eastward before hitting land about 6:10 a.m. CDT east of Grand Isle near the bayou town of Buras, providing some hope that this vulnerable city would be spared the storm’s full fury.

New Orleans in the Eye of the Katrina
New Orleans is a city know for its powerful drink, the Hurricane. Unfortunately for New Orleans, the city will be forever tied to the name Katrina if it hits dead on. The reason for this, is that New Orleans is a city built below sea level.
The levees that protect the city from flooding are also a flood threat themselves. “The biggest threat that the city has is that of a slow moving Category 3, 4 or 5 hurricane, which would create a surge of water that could be up to 30 feet high. Now if this (high) water comes into the city, it will top the levees. It will go over the top of the levees and actually fill up the city,” said Hijuelos.
So we are looking at New Orleans as a giant fishbowl. Katrina is expected to have a storm surge that will be over 20 feet. That will be enough to overwhelm the levee’s and flood the city. Then we are looking at months before the water level of the city could be pumped out.

I think it is a little bigger than even we expect as far as information I am getting right now.

Complete coverage of this breaking story with Beth Holloway Twitty and her attorney, Helen Lejuez.
I think it is a little bigger than even we expect as far as information I am getting right now. If this is not the quote of the weekend and maybe of this case since the confession that was taken back, “Some thing bad happened.” The disappearance of Natalee Holloway case just took a bizarre turn with the arrests on Friday of Freddie A. and the rearrests of the Kalpoe brothers. So much for the pundits and attempted references of stating consensual rough sex as a possible answer.

Geraldo: You heard what I reported, are you hearing the same thing?
Helen: I have heard the same thing, and more allegations and rumors about this. We are getting the information right now.
Vinda: The rearrest of the K bros is based on the new facts and circumstances that in the course of the investigation have come forward
Vinda on Freddy: Jorans best friend, neighbor always with Joran and Kalpoe bros
Official Charges on Freddy:
Intentionally distribute and show sexual images of a minor
Intercourse with someone he knows is unconscious
Sexual acts with a girl younger than 16 years
I do believe he will remain in custody for quite some timeIt is my understanding, that strategically he is a very important suspect in the Kalpoes and Jorans case
