I was five years old when Bertha and Fran hit but it is still one of the most vivid memories of my lifetime. When Bertha hit, I can remember going outside during the eye with my dad and being completely awestruck. I am so thankful for how much he taught me about weather and the unfortunate privilege I had to experience being right in the middle of a hurricane. It was a miserably hot, humid cleanup process that was rudely interrupted when Fran made landfall. My house was in the upper right quadrant so we experienced the worst of the storm. A pine tree landed on our roof, almost splitting the house in two. What struck me the most was having to use a chainsaw to cut through all of the down trees for about two miles, just to make it from our house on Futch Creek Road to Highway 17 (Market Street). Thus ensued picking up from where our post-Bertha cleanup left off, albeit with exponentially more destruction. Today, Futch Creek Road doesn’t even closely resemble what it once was because of how many pine trees were lost in those storms. It’s a great nostalgia whenever I can find footage from after these hurricanes. In 1996 none of us had iPhones, so anything documented was usually from a primitive camcorder or point-and-shoot camera. Those more fortunate might have been using one of the first SLR cameras offered to consumers. With that being said, footage was limited and not easily found, with print newspaper considered the Facebook of the 1990s. Wilmington is my hometown, and after 33 years I still live here today. Every summer is fought with increased anxiety over what the Atlantic might deliver. My childhood is marked with some of my favorite and most vivid memories with what I experienced during Bertha and Fran. 🌀

Damn it's almost 20 years Katrina hit that's one we will never forget 💯💯💯💯

Great video!

Had just started my senior year in high school! Wasn't much in Elizabeth City but I know it was pretty nuts down south.

I was in Greenville NC. My 1st hurricane experience. She was big. The winds were wow.

Nice video!! 👍👍

Hurricanes themselves 😢are never pleasant. But i know a lot of people along with myself that have fond memories of these situations. People come together during these times and make the best of whatever they have. A lot of times, a beautiful memory comes from it.

I was in the towers on 911 and I was in Baton Rouge for hurricane Katrina and I was in Washington during January 6. I thank God I made it out safely through all these historic events

At21:50 if you pause it, it shows the house my family , mom, dad, u cle and I were living in when this hit. My parents and myself were working down the street at the Villa Capriani. You can't tell in the video but the house is a duplex 3 story, and it was actually split in half. Also everything in the garage was pushed out into the sound, washer, dryer, antique canopy and trundle , two trunks of china and crystal from my parents wedding. But we survived and our dogs too.

I'm glad to find this. I've only seen an hour from CNN from this day. Edit: I tried researching the 20 oil rigs missing and or sunk and couldn't find anything. That is well hidden!

He asked if people are cold.. say what, He knows nothing about new Orleans heat..

I remember this .

Hello anybody on here! My mom's sister and I have been through something very similar to y'all when y'all had to Hurricanes in 1996 Bertha and Fran that i thought was so weird scary and devastating at the same even when florida got hit by four hurricanes in 2004! In Houston Texas where we lived most of our lives, oh my sister's birthday May 16th 20 years old, later afternoon that day we had a scary wind sound and for hour and a half a big heavy rain and and twisted winds happen which was a derecho that I looked up what power went out for a week and buy a nice winter neighbor day as we wanted to hook to the generator to keep our friends on our phones charged and we said yes and we dealt with that and that was really nice and they didn't have to and all then our power came back on at the end of the weekend, And now in July we just had this Hurricane Beryl that we thought wouldn't hit us but it did is Harvey was our previous in 2017, and I was such the worst one for us being without power for 2 weeks and a half and never will forget that, it came to us in the morning time or power lasted till 7:00 a.m. and when's came arrows blowing through us and tree limbs for flying around like scary and water only Rose to one that's never got in our house and my mom sister and I are so very grateful that we survived, but just wow in North Carolina 1996 y'all had two hurricanes hit y'all Bertha and Fran? That is so us right now in Texas how to do retro May 16th and July Hurricane Beryl two storms one in May and a month later in July Houston TX 2024! For some odd reason I feel like I've been through the 1900 Galveston Hurricane which was a hundred years before I was born in 1992!

That is so sad

Great video.

That's a damn shame they didn't talk about Johnston County.

Sam Champion doesn't believe in global warming....interesting

Who can i sue for trauma of not being able to sit in traffic?

Bye-bye ghetto

who has the timestamp of the complicated problem in K1

Hello! I’m a 6th grade science teacher and I’m creating a video for my class about Hurricane Katrina. May I use clips from this video to highlight NOLA before and after Katrina?

I Was Born On July 13th 2006 The Day After Katrina

So for the plane at 0:59 comments, heres a comment left by someone with firing neurons These photos were taken from a camera in orbit. A camera only has one "eye", one sensor. They don't interpret depth of field as we do which is what makes the plane look that way.

Could CNN’s “Katrina Theme” music be any more PTSD inducing??

I adore Rob Marciano too.

Sure, Katrina was downgraded to a 3 before hitting NO. Didn’t really lower the storm surge very much, did it??

I've lived in the Cajun Bayous all my life and when they say go I go even before they say get out of town, there is plenty of help to move you to a safe place I don't understand why you stay...

You know, even if it had rained, the jet fuel and all the other flammable items in the tower probably would have kept the fires burning.

If I’m able to evaluate a particular state because danger is near (I’m talking about in any dangerous situation) I wouldn’t think twice about it. That’s why it’s best to be independent & not depend on others because they can be your death trap later on all because they were too stubborn or didn’t think something dangerous or bad would happen

11:12 either that reporter gets a rush from doing his job or his boss did him dirty .....better gave him hazard pay

I was at camp Lejeune when this hit.

Hey dude but I hate to say this but they got rid of the street view image from 2019 no clue why

I just purchased the Kodak orbit 360 to realize that Kodak does not have the software to edit the files for desktop Mac. Do you have a tip to which alternative I can use to view and edit the movies?

That clown Sodalia on CNN kept saying the whole time trying to contradict the meteorologist how that it turned a tad bit east so that meant NEW Orleans would be better. She kept saying that from 730a.m to 830a.m EST . The weather dudes kept saying no that's not the case. Hope she was humbled by this

St.bernard had higher water then new Orleans... Now lake view had very high water up till 11 feet... In Chalmette close to Arabi had 16 -20 freaking ft

The news reporters saying "ppl that didnt evacuate"....to where??? Your house? 🤔i would be in the same boat(no pun intended) now in 2023....

My first year in college and for the first time in my life I could not stop watching the news. This was insane. Great video 👍👍

Camille hit Mississippi with 234 mph winds . The top winds of Katrina in New Orleans was no more than 100 mph . Don't listen to these news reporters who love to exaggerate . Katrina was a man made disaster in New Orleans . Mississippi felt the real fury of Katrina .

Based weather reporter at 4:15 no millenial or gen Z would do that nowadays in 2023 lol

That could very well be what it’s deliberately being used as.. whats the cause for this idk, it can’t be good tho. They know what they are doing since they are making sure it gets high enough in the atmosphere to get carried by a stream of air since that is moving very fast and swift and while we don’t know how long this timelapse is exactly, I bet it was less than a few hours and that’s not a natural system so these things I’d have to think are being fired of by misiles and programmed to burst in the air. That’s what I think and I have no military expertise so I may be wrong but I don’t really trust the government whatsoever. Best country on the planet. I can’t doubt it. Yet I see this and just think what are we doing that’s so wrong. “let these people live there life and all will be forgiven. if those who want people ill, in pain, judgment day shall surely come, Best will be upon its righteous kingdom. And like a tooth of the unholy one. Those will fall fourth so thee other may bleed. Only i would bestow such mercy that of one thousands lifetimes mourned in flame.”

where is the complicated problem

That's not shelf cloud
