Hurricane Katrina - Gulfport, MS 2005 (1080P UPSCALE)

Hurricane Katrina was one of the most catastrophic hurricanes to ever make landfall in the United States, causing over $120 Billion dollars in damage, taking over 1800 lives, and causing total devastation from New Orleans eastward along the Mississippi & Alabama Gulf Coasts. This video chronicles our race to intercept the storm from downtown Gulfport, MS and features footage never before seen here on my KZbin channel. A full breakdown of the chapters are below.

I was 15 when the storm him and I was in D'Iberville, just north of the back bay (other side of the bay from Gulfport). it was utterly terrifying. I've been back once since we moved away. straight PTSD. I couldn't sleep the whole week I was there. I try to desensitize myself by watching stuff like this, and honestly, it's kinda working. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for retelling your story. This storm was terrifying for somebody who was there firsthand of any age, much less somebody who was only 15 at the time. I can totally understand the emotions you went through not only during the storm, but when you went back to visit. I'm glad that the video has helped you a bit, I used to be absolutely terrified of thunderstorms when I was a small child, so I kind of did the same thing you did and go straight into learning about them and it really did help. Literally to the point that I now Chase storms lol. Take care and thanks again for sharing.

Impressive video. Brings back memories. The upscaling looks really good.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Thanks Bill!

[@Cruppz]

Easily some of the best sound & video ever captured of a hurricane. Thank you for posting this footage!!

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Thank you for watching!

[@loriferguson686]

So much debris! I don't think I've ever seen buildings being torn apart like in this video. Amazing footage Dave & Scott! Hope my heart rate slows before bedtime!! 😊

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Total agree Lori! Gulfport at the time unfortunately was filled with older buildings that just could not withstand Katrina's wrath. The debris was insane!

[@CxsmicKiller]

Amazing footage of Katrina! glad I'm alive to see this stuff today.

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

One of the most intense storm experiences I've ever had for sure. Thanks for watching

That double Lightning flash was incredible, a sign that Katrina was still retaining her strength over Gulfport

[@adamgalan1148]

Crazy part is Her Cat 5 power wasn't enough it still spun up F- 2&3 tornadoes inside

I hope to see the video of Hurricane Frances 2004 in Florida greetings and happy new year 😊 good video 👍

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Hurricane Frances is definitely on my list of videos to upscale for sure! Thanks for watching.

[@alliearceneaux550]

Wait so u were the one videos like standing there the whole time

[@michaelgrullon7451]

Regards Scott, What Editor do you use to Remaster and scale those videos to 1080P? I'm curious, it's for a task

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Hi Michael. I first used Topaz AI to upscale the original SD footage to HD, and then took the upscaled footage and edited it all together in Adobe Premiere Pro.

[@JayNewton-kn2ve]

How many inches of rainfall fell over Gulfport?

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

From what I've read it's between 8 and 10 inches of rain fell over the area, but exact measurements are very hard to come by because so many rain gauges failed during the storm.

[@teddyghioto]

Just think of the damage if Katrina would have hit New Orleans...

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

It certainly would have been worse than it already was in New Orleans. They got the flooding rains obviously, but they would have had the brunt of the Winds on top of that.

[@alliearceneaux550]

It did hit New Orleans wym????

[@jeffbryan4019]

Katrina should be a lesson for everyone to always evacuate before a hurricane strikes . Everyone can evacuate an area . No excuses .

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

Yes 100%

[@waldemarrodriguezdenis1001]

I don’t think Katrina was a cat 3 at landfall it looks more like a cat 4 -5 hurricane . I don’t know why the news keep saying it was only a cat 3 with 120mph those winds looks easily 130-150

[@ScottMcPartlandNYC]

I believe it was a borderline 3/4 when it first made landfall near the town of Buras in southeast Louisiana, but weakened to a strong 3 prior to getting to us in Mississippi. Definitely splitting hairs though at that point as it certainly carried with it a solid Category 5 storm surge!
