I was 4 years old. I don't remember much about those years, but this definitely lives very clear. I remember getting woken up at 11pm or 12am with my father saying, "grab everything important to you. "

[@DylanMcMullen]

I remember when the EAS and news came on for Katrina. That was scary shit when I was 8. Also, it destroyed the new trampoline I had just gotten for my birthday...

[@fishinfriends9121]

I was really little but I still remember it. Trees were knocked down all over the place.

[@lilpotatoprincess2047]

i was a baby

[@kyliecraft5850]

Dylan McMullen rip trampoline :(

[@oIiveblood]

Dylan McMullen R.I.P. your trampoline

[@mikeyg.thecnanddisneyfan9069]

I'm sorry you had to go through that!

[@C4C4Chuck]

My dad got out of Hurricane Katrina just in time!!!!

[@cameronbarnes]

My dad left the Friday before the storm came because he heard the change in the track.

[@maroonmeteor6674]

MAN HE WAS ALMOST DEAD

[@fishinfriends9121]

I was young when this happened, hurricane was awful.

[@keldenrigpheltenzin9152]

HURRICANE WARNING?!

[@keldenrigpheltenzin9152]

tornado watch?

[@liambates6053]

Hurricanes cause tornadoes. It is kinda cool.

[@A_Muzik]

I was 15.

[@mikeyg.thecnanddisneyfan9069]

Liam Bates But it's devastating, too!

[@exarchyrel3056]

I was watching the news about it and i was actually in California so while I was not in Katrina's path I still was checking out what disturbance is happening down in New Orleans I was upset of how many people lost homes, or lots that got killed. Btw I was only 17 when Katrina made landfall

[@glennaclinton129]

I laugh my hind end off when it says "Alambammy" and "wynds"

[@mikeyg.thecnanddisneyfan9069]

1:20 Whenever a Tornado Watch gets issued in a scenario like this, there's a chance it would be Extended, or even Re-Issued multiple times.

[@maroonmeteor6674]

honestly it sounds cool to be in a hurricane idk why I think that

[@davesmith6624]

Wow the Alabammy border?

[@StarchildMagic]

Dave Smith Okay, good, I'm NOT the only one who heard that.

[@stormwarning1693]

+Starchild Magic.. It's a computer. C'mon.

[@theEASexperience]

The text of the alert is real, but the audio is not.

[@pisces2569]

Wait what? Where did the audio come from?

[@Clemm_achu]

They made it with text to speech ​@@pisces2569

[@Samurai3733]

I grew up fearing that sound

[@mindstorms247]

If I were still a kid like 8 years old I would be terrified of that voice on tv. Especially if anyone has seen this video called tornado warning at Walmart.

[@fixman88]

Very good work, as usual!

[@evelynschoolcraft6463]

I was in Jacksonville fl and I heard a alert my phone and it happens when it fall tree power and flooding and hurricane warning to flash flood warning in here

The text of the alert is real, but the screen display is fake.

[@dasdenz]

I am so unlucky, because I live in New Orleans!

[@mrmajikjr]

One problem... Louisiana doesn't have Counties, it has Parishes.

[@jesusbanda234]

I ready known why they call their counties Parishes.

[@stormwarning1693]

mrmajikjr ... Listen closely. He made that clear using the word "parishes."

[@KeshawnPro2016]

the voice clearly said parishes, not counties.......

[@michaellovely6601]

The announcement did specifying the locations by saying "In southeastern Louisiana, the following parishes" and rattles off the parishes that were in the warned area along with the metro New Orleans area before revealing the counties of coastal Mississippi that were in the path of Hurricane Katrina. This Hurricane warning along with the Civil Emergency message broadcast to the residents of New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina devastated the city are extremely unsettling; but it was extremely justified in terms of being unsettling because Hurricane Katrina was worse than Hurricane Betsy in 1965 and Hurricane Camille in 1969. Ray Nagin was the mayor of New Orleans in 2005 and was a survivor of both Betsy and Camille; so he knew how bad Hurricane Katrina was going to be when it struck New Orleans. As a result he along with his colleagues at the National Weather Service office in Slidell, Louisiana put out a strongly worded Civil Emergency Message broadcast to the residents of New Orleans to get them to understand that Hurricane Katrina would devastate the city and they should just get the Hell out of New Orleans. This is credited with getting the most stubborn residents of New Orleans to realize the severity of the situation and got them to flee the city. Many residents of New Orleans who fled the city before Hurricane Katrina devastated the area have rebuilt their lives in Shreveport, Louisiana. The text of Civil Emergency Message broadcast was extremely sobering and conveyed the severity of the situation at hand. This is the text: "Devastating damage expected! Hurricane Katrina; a most powerful hurricane with unprecedented strength, rivaling the intensity of Hurricane Camille of 1969. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks, perhaps longer. At least one half of well constructed homes will have roof and wall failure. All gabled roofs will fail; leaving those homes severely damaged or destroyed. The majority of industrial buildings will become nonfunctional. Partial to complete wall and roof failure is expected. All wood framed low rise apartment buildings will be destroyed! Concrete block low rise apartment buildings will sustain major damage; including some wall and roof failure. High rise office and apartment buildings will sway dangerously, a few to the point of total collapse. All windows will be blown out! Airborne debris will be widespread; and may include heavy items such as household appliances and light vehicles. Sport utility vehicles and light trucks will be moved. The blown debris will create additional destruction. Persons, pets, and livestock exposed to the winds will face certain death if struck! Power outages will last for weeks as most power poles will be down and transformers destroyed. Water shortages will make human suffering incredible by modern standards! The vast majority of native trees will be snapped or uprooted. Only the heartiest will remain standing, but will be completely defoliated. Few crops will remain. Livestock exposed to the winds will be killed. An inland hurricane wind warning is issued when either sustained winds close to hurricane force or frequent gusts at or above hurricane force are certain within the next twelve to twenty-four hours. Once tropical storm and hurricane force winds onset, do not venture outside!"

[@Someone-lu6hi]

I’m getting flashbacks of that one sound… “Here comes the hurricane b*tch”

[@princevegeta3805]

Mother nature is terrifying. I'm glad I live in Missouri, where nothing ever happens. I HATE STORMS!!!!! People take for granted the power of storms.

[@downnice95]

You live in Tornado Alley

[@BGHambone41]

Donna Harper A day? HA. I live in Indiana, and you get about an hour's warning for a tornado, if you're lucky. Usually, you get 15 minutes to gather your loved ones and your pets in the safest room, grab your emergency kit, and hide until the Warning issued by NWS has passed.

[@princevegeta3805]

Donna Harper Yeah, that's completely false. You do not get a day. It happens very quickly! They know way before a hurricane will strike. Tornadoes can form at any time during a severe thunderstorm

[@princevegeta3805]

BGHambone41 Yeah. Sounds all too familiar my friend.

[@stormwarning1693]

Donna Harper hurricanes spawn tornadoes too. Many of them.

[@jm10014]

it rained mud in oklahoma after katrina

[@damonthaplaya8443]

You forgot to add Lafourche Parish in the warning area, where I lived at the time of the storm.

I live in Saint Bernard parish

"Winds"

More like Wynds

[@rossniederman7531]

This guys voice is so warning like

[@peakster753]

anyone have any recording similar to this one on different storms such as Ike, Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, etc.?

[@barrybadrinath2453]

This is the only emergency broadcast to be this blunt and brutal in terms of description of what’s to come. From what I remember the man who released it also faced a chance of being fired because of how he worded everything.

[@pronintendogamer96]

@Buster21ish well i use an app called type n talk on my ipod and i record it with my camera but you can also get an internal recorder and record your computer talking not sure which tool u use for that though

[@pronintendogamer96]

Hey for your other vids where did u get the alert noise? For my warning vid i have the voice recorded but i dont know where to get the noise

[@dudestir127]

@lipglossandcandy I would have to agree with you, especially when it said sustained winds of 165 mph.

[@supermario8935]

i was in hurricane katrina my whole family was ok but we lost power for 3 days

[@iiRoyalistiCrown]

Anyone here know the latitude and longitude of where Hurricane Katrina was back then in this video? Latitude: 26.9 north Longitude: 89.0 West

Is this a re-creation of the EAS alert, or is it the actual real alert?

[@RobloxBansYT]

It’s the actual real alert

[@RoderiusFrl]

St. John Baptist? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@flskywarn]

@lipglossandcandy No. With land falling tropical systems can and do produce tornadoes,

[@princevegeta3805]

Why the fuck was microsof sam there for a minute?

[@MrTylerNicole1]

Why do you start your videos with the attention signal and not the SAME bursts? Thank you.

[@damonthaplaya8443]

I recall TEE putting in the SAME header tones in their videos back in 2009-2010-ish, but I guess they removed those parts at one point. Microsoft Sam's voice used to be in this video at the very beginning, with an orange(?) screen explaining that the EAS has been activated and to tune into a channel for details.

[@MrAnthony4039]

somtimes i wake up to the test alert and i think shit were gonna die

Hello Microsoft SAM !

Or they could have just shown the pictures of the weather satellite view, and people should have figured it out. I know, someone is going to say what about the deaf people, well when everybody else is saying holy shit, I'm sure they would ask, what?
