Tropical Storm Isaac on similar path as Katrina in 2005
Tropical Storm Isaac entered the Gulf of Mexico early Monday staying on a northwesterly track away from the Florida Peninsula but on a similar path as Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Both Louisiana and Mississippi have declared states of emergency in anticipation of the storm's strengthening into a hurricane within a day or two, according to the National Hurricane Center.
