I bet your precious CO2 was to blame for this too. CO2 is heavier than air not lighter. So explain this and stop whining about Katrina it wasn't the worst hurricane your just one of the sheeple that buy into any propaganda presented.
Before Katrina, the deadliest hurricane to strike the United States was an unnamed category 4 storm that struck Galveston, Texas, in 1900. The September 8 storm claimed at least 8,000 lives (some estimates place the number as high as 12,000). Hurricane strength is measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale, where category 1 is the weakest (with sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour and a storm surge of 4 to 5 feet above normal) and category 5 is the strongest (with sustained winds of more than 155 miles per hour and a storm surge higher than 18 feet). The United States has been hit by three category 5 storms since record-keeping began. The first was a Labor Day hurricane, which struck the Florida Keys in 1935; 408 people died. The second was Camille, which hit Mississippi and southeast Louisiana in 1969, claiming 256 lives. Hurricane Andrew, which struck south Miami-Dade County, Florida, in late-August 1992, was measured as a category 4 storm at the time, but the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) reclassified it in 2002 as a category 5 storm. Andrew claimed more than 100 lives and devastated a wide area, mostly around the town of Homestead, Florida.
