Monstrous Hurricane Katrina barreled toward this city on Sunday with 175-mph winds and a threat of a 28-foot storm surge, forcing a mandatory evacuation, a last-ditch Superdome shelter and prayers for those left to face the doomsday scenario this below-sea-level city has long dreaded.
Katrina’s eye was expected to make landfall about sunrise Monday on the southeastern Louisiana coast, although Mississippi also was in danger, said Ed Rappaport, deputy director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Katrina has already been blamed for nine deaths in South Florida.
