The Greatest Hit ever for Katrina and the Waves?

This one-hit wonder band may have peaked with "Walking on Sunshine," but hurricane Katrina is about to slam into New Orleans as I write this. The category 5 storm currently has 175 mph winds and could put the city utilities out of commission for 6 months. One million people may be rendered homeless. When the water recedes, a chemical soup (from broken tanks, storage ponds and factories) could contaminate the entire region. The level of destruction could be on the same magnitude as a nuclear weapon. (The loss of life will be less, thanks to the evacuation.) It's time to call out the national guard. Oh, they're busy.
