Hurricane Katrina upgraded to Category 5
Hurricane Katrina has been upgraded to Category 5 with hurricane force winds extending 105 miles out from the eye. The maximum sustained winds are now reportedly at 175 miles per hour. Millions flee coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. This one looks like it's going to be nearly as vicious as Hurricane Camille in '69. Here's a link to the NOAA hurricane loop showing Katrina's massive size and well-defined eye.
