A huge portion of the coverage was missed. It cut off early Sunday morning on the 28th and picked up later that evening for the 5 pm news. The cut off early that morning when Katrina exploded all of a sudden from 115 mph sustained winds to up to 175 mph. That's when when I decided to pack up whatever I could fit in my car and get the hell out of there, being in the direct path of it.

[@cameronbarnes]

Katrina went into what meteorologists call "rapid intensification" that's why she exploded from 115 to 175 MPH

There just wasn't any coverage during that time from this station. This station is located in Birmingham, Alabama and didn't go into non-stop coverage until Monday morning, when impact on their immediate coverage area was only hours away.

My wife and I just got home from our honeymoon the Monday before. So I turn on the tv and for Some reason it was on the Weather Channel and saw the storm. I look at her and say honey don't bother unpacking in fact we need to back more. She had this look on her face like WTF and I just pointed to Katrina. I had to go in the next day to work and I'll never forget the line that formed at the Shell near the Causeway. And almost on the hour a person would run out and change the price. It started I wanna say at 1.15 a gallon. By the time I left it was well over 5 dollars a gallon. So we ended up leaving at like 3am Thursday morning cause my boss called and said it's on track to reach Slidell Friday. So we packed up our pets and our bags and headed out. But I forgot to turn the water in our townhouse off.. If I had done that the most damage we would have had was a few random mold spots. Instead our downstairs bathroom over flowed and completely soaked not only our place but out next door neighbors too. And I had complained about the toilet overflowing a few times before to our land lord. Nothing happened and luckily it was just water and not sewage. The scariest thing I saw was that the entire middle complex had a huge hole in it clean from once side to the other. It looked like someone shot a cannon ball and it hit and just kept going. It broke my heart because that townhouse felt like okay this it the place. So many first's happened thier and now as each year passes my mind slips just a bit more...And I am starting to forget some of those first's...

Yes as a resident of the MS gulf coast, we all noticed the lack of coverage in the media about what was going on here in the aftermath.

[@rdee7406]

17 deaths from Milton. 17. This hurricane had 1800. The level of preparedness and building materials used in Florida speaks volumes. I’ve driven in New Orleans, the homes are all mostly old and dumpy. Definitely not new construction made of concrete and stucco. I think back then not many people took this storm seriously

[@NicholasCampbell-c8y]

Death toll is higher than that now, but your point still holds true.

[@randymarsh6931]

People took it seriously. It was the best example of a perfect storm in US history. Most of the trouble happened in New Orleans where they were below sea level. Once the levees failed, anyone still left in the city faced certain death from the flooding alone. Its track gave people only about 48 hours to evacuate when most hurricanes give people 72+ hours. It’s a miracle it went through an eyewall replacement cycle and weakened to a Cat 3 in the morning hours. Had it stayed a Cat 5 like it was in the gulf, hundreds more would’ve died. I agree that in general people have become more cautious with hurricanes since Katrina, but strictly speaking, there’s never going to be a storm like this again.

[@annbush1826]

@@aprilpotts5731 As a survivor, I am correcting your misapprehension. First: Mayor Roy Nagin was offered a relief train by Amtrak ahead of the storm and rejected it, then flew to Dallas with his family. Many people in New Orleans depended on the great cheap streetcar and bus lines, and had no car. Second, all hurricanes swirl in a counter clockwise motion and warm waters act to make them grow stronger, Hurricane Katrina drove a 20 foot surge of water through the Rigolets into Lake Pontchartrain . Third, the open mouths of the outfall drains that pumped the heavy rains every year OUT through the canals had no floodgates. The New Orleans Levee Board had rejected the plans from the U.S. Corps of Engineers to build locks to close off the three major entrances to the lake.

"Bush had a weather machine that steered it right up into New Orleans." - Rush Limbaugh The national news only reported on New Orleans, they barely talked about the MS Gulf Coast, which bore the brunt of it. New Orleans was located on the "good" side, the left side, west side. New Orleans had 90 mph winds, Category 1. MS coast, Category 3. Bush got all the blame, as much blame with this hurricane as he did with the 2003 Iraq war.

Excuse me, Hurricane Andrew would like a word...

[@CDcooper3876]

@@stankbox Andrew was small but super powerful storm like a giant tornado.Surge was not nearly as bad due to the small size of the storm. Nonetheless Andrew held the record for costliest storm on record before Katrina surpassed it . Katrina due to the tremendous size of the system pushed much more surge which not only overwhelmed the levees of New Orleans but pushed a 30 ft surge on the Mississippi Gulf Coast completely obliterating it .

Not deeper than Hurricane Camille

[@justinharris5195]

Justo Garcia yes it was, you’re literally denying facts. I’d really like to see your meteorology degree, cause I’m sure you know what you’re talking about and are totally not biased.

[@justogarcia175]

Expand and explain

[@justinharris5195]

Justo Garcia 1: as you probably know already, tropical cyclones are heat engines that take latent heat from or near the equator and transfers it to the poles to equalize the heat distributed across the earth. 2: larger storm = generally lower pressure. 3: and Katrina was a much larger storm than Camille in terms of gale force winds field. I think everyone can agree on that. 4: not to mention that Camille and Katrina had the same wind speed at peak intensity, 175mph. 5: even though the mean sea level and atmosphere pressure around Camille was lower than it was for Katrina, it just goes back down to size, and like I said before, Katrina is the much larger storm. That’s why the storm surge in Katrina was 4-7ft higher. Edit: the NHC performed a reanalysis on Camille, lowered the winds down from 190mph, to 175mph at peak intensity, the landfall strength of Camille was 145mph, but they didn’t want to, “ruin the legend”, so they kept its landfall strength to 175mph, same as it’s peak.

@@justinharris5195 "Larger the storm" in terms of physicality or wind strength = generally lower barometric pressure?

[@justogarcia175]

When you write "larger," I immediately assume you are referring to physicality.
