"New Orleans battens down for second storm"

The mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, has suspended the reopening of large portions of the city and ordered most people to evacuate as the latest violent storm closes in on the battered region.

Tropical storm Rita has gathered strength after passing through the Bahamas yesterday and is expected to hit the coast of Florida before possibly moving to areas already devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
