Today marks the fifth anniversary of the landfall of Hurricane Katrina, and there are two active hurricanes in the Atlantic.
Danielle is heading north and will end up spinning itself out without ever being a threat to land. Earl is further south, on a more westerly course, so it is still a potential threat to the east coast. Following in Earl’s footsteps is another tropical wave that could become Tropical Storm Fiona before the day is out.
After Katrina, over 100,000 New Orleans residents relocated to Houston. Five years later, over 20,000 of them are still here. That did not do either city any favors – their moving here raised the crime rate and lowered the average IQ in both cities.
