I was 10 years old living on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi when this storm hit. It lasted 8 hours. 8 hours of watching 150 MPH winds snap trees in half and send them flying through the air. 8 hours of storm surge that exceeded everyone's expectations. 30+ feet of water. I remember that afterwards we had to wait 4 hours to even leave our driveway because there were so many fallen trees and we had no chainsaw. And when we did get out, there were boats from the harbors next to my elementary school. There was little ice, and people waited for hours in 100+ degree weather, only to find that the store is sold out. People were looting gas stations for bread to feed themselves and their families. Beautiful historic houses were just gone. People would walk into your backyard with guns trying to loot your home. We went 3 weeks without power or water. We ate one meal a day. We waited for rain so that we could shower, but rain didn't come for weeks.

I visited NOLA two years after Katrina. As a South Floridian who has gone through many storms, it was a sobering experience seeing such devastation and desperation that gripped the entire region. Some of the damage witnessed appeared if it it just occured. Not from an event two years prior. Seeing hoards of people living in tent cities under ramps and bridges leading into downtown NOLA made me weep. It was a humanitarian disaster. This storm went beyond destroying life and property. It exposed the inequities that people refused to acknowledge. The people I met during my visit were some of the most humble I have encountered.

[@zerosoma33]

What you saw is pretty standard for NOLA. Homeless camps are everywhere, not just during hurricanes. That whole city is a 24/7 disaster area and has been for the last 40 years.

With Hurricane Ida coming, I fear for Louisiana. Folks and areas are STILL recovering from Katrina. Coupled with the fact that hospitals are at FULL capacity right now due to covid and the levees are apparently eroding surprisingly quickly by 2023. I pray that the healthcare system and levees hold up, but it's not looking good.

[@kobyschechter8163]

The Lower Ninth Ward still hasn’t recovered from Katrina. That’s one major example of that. So far though only one levee has failed and the pumps are all working. Ida has catastrophically damaged a lot of buildings however. Especially in the French Quarter. The name will probably be retired when all of this blows over. Here in NY we will get a lot of rain this upcoming Wednesday and Thursday when the storm breaks up. We will feel Ida’s wrath even here.

The last sentence should be changed to "their lives forever changed by the neglect of government officials to properly service the levies." The hurricane was bad, but it was the levies breaking that caused so much death and destruction. And that was avoidable, right Brownie?

everything is avoidable after the fact... you can service those levies and then other levies that you thought were fine would break because mother nature is unpredictable

Re it’s not Mother Nature being unpredictable. It’s government officials not willing to allocate their money to maintain vital building structures.

My sister and I were just kids when this hurricane hit Miami. We had just moved from another country just one month prior and we lived in an apartment (bad timing).

Once the wind was in, it started banging and pushing into the bathroom door, our parents had to keep it closed while my sister and I were placed in the bathtub. It was a terrifying experience.

I know this happened almost 16 years ago but the damage Hurricane Katrina did was devastating. Towns were flooded, buildings were destroyed, and many lives were lost! Katrina even destroyed a beloved theme park: Six Flags New Orleans (Jazzland).

I was 3 Years Old when Hurricane Katrina flooded 80% of New Orleans. My parents saw it on the Weather Channel. My power went out at my house near Oak Grove (which is about 60 Miles away from Monroe in NorthEast Louisiana) with some heavy rainfall. I will never forget that Hurricane.

DotDotDot I lived in New Orleans during Katrina. You have to understand, this isn’t just normal looting. Not 1, or 2, instances, but hundreds.

They didn't send any buses, but they didn't have a problem sending the national guard in.

[@scraphappy51185]

Well, to be fair, buses have to travel on streets and the National Guard can fly in on helicopters. But that still doesn't excuse the lackluster response from our government. The state of Louisiana bears some of the blame too, because engineers warned them 2 years before Katrina hit that the levees were vulnerable if a Cat 5 hit. There is a video of their presentation on KZbin.
