What if the New Orleans Saints had really left after Katrina? (slideshow)
 

Tropical Storm/Depression Bonnie is seemingly headed toward the city of New Orleans and will surely bring along some high winds and plenty of rain. It is nowhere near the strength or size of the natural disaster that ransacked the city back in August of 2005, but it will probably still bring back plenty of unpleasant memories for the residents of the city.
