The storm is now bigger than Katrina, and if you transposed it on the States, it would cover a good three quarters. It is huge and my friends down there say it is going to be the words biggest. Houses up there are built to withstand 256kph, but now that looks like way under what is needed!!!

Worlds I think you meant to say - yes - and up to 1 or 2 metres of water to be dumped - that's scary and dangerous!
