hurricane


Hurricane Katrina hit the Louisiana coast last night Australian time with 224 km/h winds as the powerful storm came ashore from the Gulf of Mexico and took aim at low-lying New Orleans.

The coast, much of it lightly populated swamps, was being pounded by high winds and heavy rain while New Orleans, 90 kilometres to the north-east, braced itself for the worst.
