... and Gustav hit BR with strong Cat 2 winds and Cat 3 gusts .. Last I checked, we weren't "destroyed" .. Rita was one of the strongest storms ever in the Atlantic Basin .. It was all about the area it hit versus Katrina in more ways than one ..

the storm that amazed me was the one that hit Galveston not long ago. Cat 2 but it was massive and did tons of damage.

You should have lived in Sherwood Forest...it was destroyed...

Couldn't even get out of my street for the first week because of a downed power line and a huge pine tree

Yea we were sort of lucky it went up the Sabine pass and didn't directly hit a more populated area. Seeing how it wiped out Cameron makes you realize things could have been a lot worse.

I believe they both made landfall at about the same strength as well.

IF the levees in New Orleans don't break....Katrina was just another hurricane. Rita was a bitch.........
