16 years ago, the company I was running had just shipped a power plant to a factory in Pearlington MS. We were waiting to schedule commissioning when we heard that a storm, headed for New Orleans had veered east and our customer was now right in the target.
That was bad for us but widely understood at the time to be good for New Orleans because it meant Katrina wouldn't be quite as bad for the folks who lived there.
Sharing only because this sentence scares me: "The powerful Category 4 storm made landfall on the same date Hurricane Katrina ravaged Louisiana and Mississippi 16 years earlier, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of where Category 3 Katrina first struck land."
