The large part of this should pass over my area, but there's supposed to be extended power outages, severe storms, and flooding (floods can be really bad here). I don't know that it would be worse than Katrina though... At my house we've moved outdoor things under the porch and placed weights on them, gotten candles ready, and filled up the bathtub with water for drinking (we have a well system so if the power goes out, so does the water). Unfortunately, that means if power is out for a week there's no way to shower and we don't have a generator :/
