As the deadly Hurricane Katrina churned closer to Louisiana, officials issued mandatory evacuations in some low-lying areas and encouraged some other residents to leave voluntarily. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a test. This is the real deal," said New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin. Katrina is threatening to grow to Category 4 and could slam into Louisiana or Mississippi.
