Hey girls..
I have to do a talk tomorrow.. in German You have to choose an article and then talk about it in German. So I've chosen an article which is about a new tornado or something is near Louisiana (if I understood it right ) Here it is:

Sturmwarnung für Amerika

Der Tropensturm „Rita“ nimmt Kurs auf Louisiana. New Orleans wird abermals evakuiert. Schon wieder steigt der Ölpreis.

In Louisiana wächst die Sorge vor einem neuen Hurrikan. Tropensturm "Rita" könnte bis Ende der Woche erheblich an Kraft gewinnen und als Kategorie-3-Hurrikan in Texas oder Louisiana auf das Festland treffen, warnte das Hurrikan-Zentrum in Miami in der Nacht zum Dienstag. Ray Nagin, Bürgermeister von New Orleans, ordnete umgehend die Räumung seiner Stadt an. Die Dämme, die nach Hurrikan "Katrina" vor drei Wochen teilweise gebrochen waren, seien nicht stark genug, um einer neuen Sturmflut standzuhalten.

So if I'm right, it says that Louisiana is afraid for a new tornado after Katrina. ''Rita'' can arrive in a few days Louisiana, maybe at the end of the week. But I'm not sure if I'm right so can anyone who speaks German tell me in English what this article is about exactly?
thank you

you are right with what you said Kirsten .

the article says that the new hurricane RITA can hit Louisiana in the end of the week . New Orleans shall be evacuated says the major Ray Nagin becuz the protective walls that were broken while Katrina came over New Orleans wouldn´t be able to stand new monster waves .
additionaly it says that the oil price rises again .
