The big story this morning is of course Big Meana Katrina. She's no longer a category 5 storm but still mighty deadly and threatens to cause catastrophic damage to New Orleans. Here is a pic of Fort Lauderdale, FL from Aug 25. The sand from the beach is blown around. Since 1900 there have only been three cat 5 storms and they've only had names since 1950. The three we've had were in 35, 69, and 92. The one in 35 hit the Florida Keys. 1969 saw the arrival of Camille as she slammed into Mississippi and Louisiana and 92's storm was Andrew as he devestated Florida.

Another story out of Spain this morning is the running of the bulls. 63 people were injured during this sport and two were seriously injured. The injuries happened as a result of a pileup at the bullring's entrance which is where the run ends. The bulls weigh up to 1,300 pounds. What a wonderful idea, let's see if we can outrun these huge animals before they gore us or trample over us. Why?

Enjoy your day,
