I guess for us, we naturally compare hurricanes with the worst ones that we have experienced in our lifetime, namely Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005. Isaac will bring misery to many people on the Gulf coast and the New Orleans area, but there won't be the same extreme damage and loss of life experienced in the two horrific, historical hurricanes of '69 and '05. These two storms left the entire area looking like an atomic bomb had been dropped on them. Isaac will probably go down as the most destructive cat. 1 hurricane in history, property-wise, but thank God, not in lives lost. I am sure the American Red Cross will have their hands full, not only on the Gulf coast and New Orleans, but elsewhere, as the storm slowly moves north and then east
