Obviously not 100% real lol. But anyone know where this is from? The real part minus the stuff I added.

Hey Zach,

I know your trying to crack a joke with that whole CTP/Katrina thing but I just want to point out that its against the law to emulate a federal agency. That's how that "new math" guy in California got taken out. I know your your trying to have some fun but they take this kind of thing very seriously, especially with the AWIPS headers on and all. If your going to poke fun at an event with an official NWS product make sure it's blatantly obvious its a joke. Otherwise your playing with fire.
