Five years ago

Jack Beven from the National Hurricane Center in Miami says on Facebook:

"Five years ago today, Hurricane Katrina made its catastrophic landfall on the northern Gulf Coast. I was watching the landfall from home before going in to work that evening, and the news broadcasts that morning did not really portray the full scope of the disaster. That only became fully apparent after the storm had passed.

Here is a satellite image of Katrina crossing southeastern Louisiana just after sunrise that morning."

I am remembering all the amazing work interdictor and his gang of geeks did in the following days.

"Hmm. This could actually be a nasty storm."
