A *****cat? I'm really curious what you mean. Hundreds of people are being reported dead, and the numbers will certainly grow as the days go on. There are still 10,000 refugees in the Superdome, several of whom have already died from the unhygenic conditions there. There are people stranded on rooftops. The levees are down, and much of New Orleans may not be inhabitable for months. Total property damage estimates are upwards of $10 to $20 billion, in the range of Hurricane Andrew. And that's without considering the pretty much inevitable disease outbreaks that will unfortunately probably follow.
Was this the worst-case scenario? No. But it was pretty bad. A "*****cat?" I'd hate to see your litter box.
