Hurricane Katrina, now a Category 5 storm, is making a beeline for the city of New Orleans. The Mayor of New Orleans has issued a mandatory evacuation order for the city. High tide at the mouth of the Mississippi will occur at 5:28am, approximately an hour and a half before the projected landfall at 7am Monday. New Orleans lies at or below sea level, and current estimates predict up to 15 feet of water may inundate the city. The current population of New Orleans is approximately 484674, with a land area of 181 square miles. At 8 a.m. Sunday Katrina was centered about 250 miles south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. It was moving to the west-northwest at about 12 mph. Katrina is blamed for 7 deaths in South Florida as it made landfall last Thursday near the Miami-Dade and Broward county line. The last direct hit from a hurricane occurred in 1965 when Hurricane Betsy pounded New Orleans with 105 mile per hour winds and a 8 to 10 foot storm surge. --Chatmag News Staff--- External Links: Chatmag's Hurricane Live Chat Room.
