Katrina comparisons are being bandied about on all the left leaning websites along with administration assurance of a heavy response if there is destruction. Repubs will have to howl loud in support if it's a big hit. This will be used for political gain by the democrats. And if it hits hard it will take all the wind out of the RNC convention. A double whammy! I almost believe you nuts now that say HAARP can create and steer hurricanes. Political showmanship will take the stage over dealing with actual damage and suffering by both parties.
