Nostradomer?

Turns out that a Notre Dame Law Student posted a warning on his blog days before(8-26) Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. MSNBC covered this story as well as the NY Times. Can't link because I am using a sorry ass Mac, but look below for the URL. Here is an excerpt from his blog

"At the risk of being alarmist, we could be 3-4 days away from an unprecedented cataclysm that could kill as many as 100,000 people in New Orleans. Such a scenario is unlikely -- the conditions would have be just right (or rather, just wrong) -- but IMHO, it's not nearly unlikely enough to feel good about things. If I were in New Orleans, I would seriously consider getting the hell out of dodge right now, just in case. Once the evacuation orders are issued, if it comes to that, it'll inevitably be an absolute madhouse, despite officials' best efforts. "

Oh, and here is another excerpt, in case some elected official tries to tell you we had no idea.

"What the hell is the point of even having such a thing as "mandatory evacuations," if you're not going to order them right now (or better yet, about 24 hours ago) for New Orleans, Gulfport and Biloxi?!? Don't the officials down there get it?!? ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE HURRICANES IN RECORDED HISTORY IS 24 HOURS AWAY FROM QUITE POSSIBLY DESTROYING THEIR CITIES!!!" Posted 8-28

Oh, and one more eerie posting before Katrina hit: 8-28

"I don't mean to trivialize what is going to happen to New Orleans and environs by highlighting my petty concerns... but the thought keeps entering unbidden into my head: "Damn. I wanted to go to Mardi Gras in 2007." Partying with friends in the French Quarter, and crossing that particular item off my life's to-do list, was my big plan for my final semester of freedom, before entering the dreaded real world. But now I'm not sure there will be a French Quarter in 2007."
