Hurricane Katrina. Her with the killer, red-eye. Her winds reaching out to the gulf shores as if tendrils from her Medusa head. The 24/7 news frenzy is being fed by the worst case scenarios--what if the storm was faster? What if the storm landed 20 miles to the East? What if the bodies came out of the coffins creating a New Orleans "toxic gumbo?"
This isn't news. This is just making up titillating scenarios. In the 50's, there were monster movies. In the 70's there were a bunch of disaster movies, some natural, some man-made. It's the 2000's and we have 24/7 evil fantasy storm a la George Romero. Turn off the channel. I'm afraid already. I can't sleep.
