Does Hurricane Gustav appear to be worse than Katrina?

Question

For those who are living near the hurricane area, does it appear to be worse than Katrina or doesn't it look as bad? How have you prepared?

Answer 1

katrina happened at night so it would be hard to tell. also this storm weakened very fast when it made landfall. it was a cat 3 this morning now almost a tropical storm 12 hours later

Answer 2

No.  Not close.  It isnt as windy and is alot weaker than Katrina was at this time.  Is more like a tropical depression right now.

Answer 3

quite a lot depends on where you are.

the fact that people are more awake, and more likely to be careful, will help a lot.

and the levies have been strengthened.
