libertas,
By the way, I think Dr Wood has posted up some excellent independent research on Erin and Katrina, showing that by some measures Erin was stronger than Katrina was. Also, I seem to recall that when Katrina actually hit land, well to the east of N.O., it was a Category 2 hurricane. Is that your recollection?
