Harbor Hurricane Storm Surge is not the same as the Tsunami "harbor wave" but for all practical purposes it delivers a similar devastating blow. Once the storm surge pushes the water into a harbor we know what happens. For those who saw the Hurricane Katrina Photo of the harbors on the Gulf Coastal areas we are reminded of the Camille, Andrew and Irene Hurricanes. The Hurricane, which hit New Orleans was said to be the 500-year storm, yet could it really have been the 50-year storm over do? It was the fifth most powerful storm to ever hit the United States, as the early Hurricane tracking on the Hurricane Tracker and Hurricane Watch showed.

Even as a Category one storm the Katrina Hurricane in Miami killed seven people and that was just a warm up, before she hit the warm waters of the Gulf or before anyone really know the hurricane name. Well we all know who Katrina was now and the hurricane tropical season is not over yet as we reach into the remaining months already out of names. Do we have a Hurricane National problem? Do we understand the Hurricane Picture? Did we learn anything from the Hurricane Katrina path this 2005 Hurricane Season?

Hurricane Katrina New Orleans, well we will not readily forget her or her costs to this economy. Estimated costs for Hurricane Katrina are 155 Billion and along with her step sister Hurricane Rita, well over 200 Billion. That does not include the oil assets damaged. 105 Oil Rigs offline, both production and some drilling, that alone can have a downward spiral on the economy. Yes, indeed, we did learn a lot from Hurricane Katrina, but we have more to learn about our future and the resolve of a tough group of people called Americans. So Mother Nature has something to learn too. We don't give up that easy. Think on it.
