Katrina hits New Orleans in 2004

What if hurricane Katrina had hit New Orleans in 2004 during the presidential election? This would seriously have on an effect on Bush's re-election campaign.

Would Kerry have a stronger chance? Especially if he took a break from campaigning to help the relief efforts?
 
Yeah, maybe Kerry could win the election IF Bush would not respond quickly. Much close presidential election were expected. Kerry 274, Bush 264 instead Bush 286, Kerry 251 in OTL.
