<p>Please pray for or at least keep in mind the city of New Orleans and its surrounding areas.</p>

<p>The monstrous hurricane this is heading their way (Hurricane Katrina) is a historic and potentially catastrophic storm that is irresfutably bound to inflict devastating winds and rains on the area. </p>

<p>As it stands now, Hurricane Katrina packs winds of 175 mph, making a category 5 (maximum) hurricane, with wind gusts reaching above 200 mph. </p>

<p>The National Hurricane Center (NOAA) predicts that the majority of the city will experience unprecidented damage, and that the below-sea level region will be under water for weeks. </p>

<p>I was just in touch with a friend of mine in New Orleans who is Princeton-bound for the Class of 2009. She has evacuated to the state of Mississippi, but has left behind her home and belongings. There are millions just like her. </p>

<p>Yea my heart goes out to them. They say that many people will be without power for atleast 2 months there! Its horrible. One of my friends from Harvard this summer is from NO, and I have yet to call him since I have no power either (im in a cc library). Anyways,I really wish the best for them, and my prayers go out.</p>
