Workers at Beauvoir, the Biloxi historical home
where Jefferson Davis spent the last years of
his life, prepare for Hurricane Katrina to make
landfall in Biloxi, Mississippi. A massive
evacuation of New Orleans was underway amid fears of
a catastrophic hit by Hurricane Katrina, which
barreled toward the low-lying southern US city with
winds of 280 kilometers (176 miles per hour).(AFP/Getty
