This is the path of a famous storm, Andrew. It started August 16, 1992 and ended August 28, 1992. There were 65 fatalities. This path is not the same but similar to Katrina, especially after it passed over southern Florida. Katrina also occurred at this time of year.

I am not saying this is going to happen, what I am saying is that it could happen. The ocean waters are very hot and the Atlantic hurricane season to date has been rather calm. 

Americans need to pay attention.
