Delaware at great risk from Katrina-size storm


Hurricane storm surges weren't on Patricia Drummond's mind when she moved from northern Virginia to a three-bedroom home near a picture-postcard stretch of Red Mill Pond west of Lewes.

"We are on a pond, and that's one of the reasons we moved here, but I didn't think we were in an area that would be affected by a hurricane," said Drummond, whose Overbrook Shores neighborhood is one of four clustered around the water.

But updated maps produced by the Army Corps of Engineers come to a different conclusion.
