St. Petersburg City Commissioners are calling for another look at its Hurricane plans in Katrina's wake.

Most are confident the city's plan from stockpiling supplies, to creating enough shelter would work for the kinds of hurricanes that hit Florida last year.

But images of the chaos amid the New Orleans flooding makes them wonder if the city has a category 3 plan that might not be adequate in a category five storm.
