I was in New Orleans at the time of Ida and let me tell you, it was a sight to hear. I was in a hospital at the time right before the storm started. The lights went out, we could hear stuff crashing outside. We heard sounds coming from the ceiling. It was frightening because I haven't really first handedly experienced a hurricane before. Especially not a category 4 hurricane! And I seriously though that something was about to fly onto the roof and crush someone. After the hurricane went through, it was so flooded outside. Trees and landlines we're leaning or collapsed in general. I think I heard people saying don't go near the landlines because you may get shocked or something. Or maybe thats just something I remember from a situation like this. I don't know. But anyways hopefully this can teach others outside of Louisiana and the Southern parts of America where Hurricanes are common on the experiences of the residents who survived it :')!

Do I wish we’d do better with vaccines, try harder to mitigate climate change (or even just admit it’s real), spend more on education and infrastructure - of course! But at the end of the day, as important as that stuff is and as much difference as it might’ve made in mitigating this disaster, if the haters were ever to find themselves in the midst of a disaster, these are the people they’d want beside them.

@@KrissyMeow I am not trying to be rude but “can’t” cannot always be the answer for changing your life. So many places are begging for help and even offering bonuses to accept a job. Nobody should settle for poverty. If where you are is not offering you any opportunities to change your life then you are definitely in the wrong place. Even if families have to get together and pitch in money to send one person at a time some where to start over they need to do it. Many resettled a Katrina and never looked back. Can’t needs to stop being an option and just do it! If their homes are apartments have been damaged, they are probably in a shelter.

[@secondarycontainment4727]

Nope. That's Not true. Hurricanes are Not getting worse by any metric. Dr Ryan N. Mau wrote a peer reviewed paper showing the FREQUENCY of global hurricanes since 1970 (the beginning of satellite data). It shows NO TREND in frequency in either direction. It's pretty darn stable across the timeframe. And the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) is a metric that combines hurricane and tropical storm frequency and strength. Again, there is no significant trend in either direction. And, although only somewhat ancillary, the long term (1900-2020) trend in United States *landfalling* hurricanes is DOWN. Not up - DOWN. And your idea of climate change is quite warped. Decades of ice core samples (NASA) prove that our climate is CYCLICAL (the Milankovitch cycles) and a warming cycle ended ~5k years ago. That cycle has everything to do with the inclination of the Earth's tilt and it's eccentricity of orbit to/around the sun. These are things that MAN can Not change. Not at all. Man is Not causing climate change. In fact, those ice core samples also show that glaciars GREW LARGER with more CO2 in our atmospher than "modern day". They also show that we are headed towards a COOLING - with all that, if you believe that CO2 causes a warmer planet, then (by that logic) we may have softened the COOLING that we are going to experience. Quit repeating LIES. The only reason any ACADEMIC or COMPANY pushes those FALSE narratives is because they are trying to profit off it. STOP SHILLING FOR THEM and do some actual research about this stuff.

Doesn't really make sense to me. I use to live in Guam, 6 years. Has typhoons which is a hurricane for an island, 75-175mph about every other year. I don't see Guam flooding, houses going down the street besides shacks. Guam is designed to handle it though, all utilities are underground, no roof shingles(rubber or tar caps, some times littered with rocks), almost all houses have storm shutters(that work, not for looks. They actually shut). Most stuff returned to normal week after, mostly cleaning up trees. Except power would be out for weeks to month, cable would be out for months. So knowing that you live in such a place, how come homes do not have shutters and other hurricane related things? Houses in Louisiana look like houses anywhere else that doesn't have stucco. Then knowing it floods like that, why build a home not designed for flooding. In Houston most homes in flood zones are on stilts, with garages below.

I live here in the New Orleans area .. we are on day 6 almost 7 with no electricity… the worst part is enduring the 100 degree plus days with no electricity. We just sweat constant all day and at night trying to sleep it’s miserable.. lucky if I sleep an hr or 2. Lights are looking like 4 to 8 weeks to be restored and it’s just miserable. Threw all our food out in the refrigerator as it spoiled, can barely find ice, gas, supplies. It’s hell on earth here right now … people looting and someone was just short dead over a fight about gas …..just want this to be over with and get back to work and be able to support family

The Louisiana Navy !!! One of the best in the world .

[@jckorn9148]

From a blip to a monster storm in 2 days. No time to prepare and it will happen again.

[@secondarycontainment4727]

It's hurricane SEASON. It happens EVERY YEAR. No time to prepair? Really? Even you said it will happen again... so I guess - just wait until next season to prep? DURP DURP DURP./

[@angiev1840]

@@secondarycontainment4727 you have to because you just never know. I felt stupid because I live in Lafayette and we left and went to bossier city and didn't have to. We were still in the cat 1 area of the cone when we decided to leave and then it bobbled a little east. The last minute bobble is what gets you. Better safe than sorry I guess. I live on a corner where there are power poles on one side of my house and a bunch of power lines over it--it was my first house & I didn't think about that. I always leave. It freaks me out to be in there during a hurricane.

[@secondarycontainment4727]

@@angiev1840 I understand the fear of overhead power lines. My first house was the same way. That's why I have a backup generator and CLASS C fire extinguishers.

[@dustinbergeron7508]

Y’all do realize Katrina hit Louisiana as well and was way worse than ida

[@ZackSansing]

And you all should compare Hurricane Ida to Hurricane Ike.

[@dustinbergeron7508]

@@ZackSansing ida was not bad for me at all cuz all we got from it was a lil wind no rain at all Baton Rouge got hit hard. Ike didn’t even hit my area neither did Laura the only one that hit my area directly was gustav back in 08. But my comment was saying that people act like ida was the worst hurricane to ever hit Louisiana like Katrina was worse and hurricane andrew back in the 90s was worse than ida

[@loveforthe90s]

It’s amazing what people have to go through 😢 help these damn people!

[@DramaTubeTv]

I am with the United Cajun Navy we are doing water rescues and have turned our warehouse guest home and private campground into a emergency shelter in the Mississippi Forrest we have elderly and disabled people here the destruction here is far worse that what we saw after hurricane Katrina by far. I am headed to New Orleans in a few minutes to pick up food donations then heading to Baton Rouge Louisiana to pick up a 84 year old evacuee who needs electricity for her breathing machine. Conditions in New Orleans are going downhill fast looting and police are being shot its insanity!!! I am heavily armed but it’s still a scary situation here streets are Pitch black and starting to smell horrible

[@kellykeller9472]

Good thing you didn't get an F5 tornado

[@mr1bienvenu1]

Hurricane Laura hit us with winds like Ida and more.

[@HospitalForSouls.X]

LITERALLY JUST MOVE OUT.

[@mcmlxii4419]

I feel bad for the people of Louisiana. They always get clobbered with these hurricanes.

[@mcmlxii4419]

@Dan Bowman Some people are limited in their means to just pick up and move. They're stuck. It takes a lot of money to move. That's why I feel bad for them.

[@craigwaynewayne2082]

Finally the Washington Post spitting facts! Just need good coverage

[@kaydencechavis419]

Alligators gone be a everywhere

[@alayna5151]

Why don't yall leave the comments on all of the time

[@Pleebixx]

it still looks like Ida hit yesterday in some places in our town. one year tomorrow that Ida hit us. She was merciless.

[@jayyrealfunny2126]

Houma, Laplace, thib, grand isle NEED HELP

[@activistarts7722]

It's strange that after so many bad storms, neighborhoods are not built to withstand this sort of destruction? Its like we built stuff to fail and hope that it doesn't. This goes beyond building codes for houses.

[@WorldwideWyatt]

@Dan Bowman that’s not how it works at all but okay.

[@Sue-bekky]

I’m sorry to say this, but I think you need more research It does not work like that. I’m afraid

[@TaigaXOXO]

Glad Wanda and the wasp made it out alright!

[@scottstevens6388]

LA has never had a direct hit from a Category 5. Camille hit Biloxi and Gulfport, MS with 200+ mph winds. Although only a Cat 4, Katrina had a storm surge in Waveland and Bay Saint Louis, MS of close to 30 feet and sea waves of 55 feet.

[@idkwhatnametoput2127]

I hope everyone was ok🙏

[@marlene97280]

All my support from Martinique we Know how is hard. Tout notre soutien depuis la Martinique, nous savons comment c'est eprouvant et douloureux. Le temps de la reconstruction va être long. Ma résilience et la solidarité doit être le seul mot d'ordre.

[@eddenoy321]

The worst ??? SMH. Louisiana has seen quite a few bad hurricanes, not unusual for them.

[@robertsmith20022]

That ida ain’t have NOTHING on Katrina…..NOTHING! People still sitting on their cars and houses are standing. Katrina? People were ON TOP of their houses, living in stadiums oh and….let’s not forget the levies.

[@frankgetz4300]

the hell is FEMA

[@hillaryclinton2415]

So what? I have been through dozens.. it nay be the worst a 5 yr old ever saw...

[@jacobglaze2687]

Hopefully that guy used all natural soap lol

[@SomeGuyFromOK]

It's definitely nowhere close to as bad as Katrina was. Are we going to get onto Biden for not having the National Guard prepared like people got onto Bush? Also, this lady is just calmly giving an interview with a fkn wasp on her neck? That's crazy.

[@tyavemercy16]

Lmaoooooo a wasp 🐝 I’m dead

[@vickieporter822]

Praise God there alive. Praying for the people

[@prezzon3413]

People need to really be giving God all of the praise & thanksgiving because He deserve it & time is running out. Jesus went to prepare a place for us that where He is there shall we be also& when it's ready He will come get us. Stay ready & remember it'll all be worth it to be with the Lord. Amen.

[@kellykeller9472]

Louisiana should be known as the front door to Hurricane Alley

[@jonathanleblanc2140]

Not even close to the worst Louisiana has ever seen, not even close.

[@MissAmazanda]

That's one thing I like about Ohio it seems untouchable when it come to natural disasters but everything else about the state sucks....

[@invertedpolarity6890]

This is typical of hurricanes in the south. I am from south Louisiana and this is what happens.

[@Whoisderon]

Why do people still live in that state

[@WorldwideWyatt]

Because it’s their home.

[@WorldwideWyatt]

@Dan Bowman Maybe their conservative government should be charging all the oil companies higher taxes on their platforms to cover damage like this since they exploit the workers with low wages and do nothing but use Louisiana as a base of operations. You’d probably cry about that too tho because of “higher gas prices” while simultaneously yelling “drill baby drill.”

[@Willyk200921]

Omg, I live next to a lake and ocean in a city that historically floods... I can’t believe this is happening! 😂 I feel for these people but that’s just part of New Orleans. 1 time a year or every other year, you gotta move and replace all your stuff

[@traciemyers4137]

That’s not true

[@WorldwideWyatt]

These people aren’t in New Orleans.

[@Willyk200921]

Worldwide Wyatt you don’t have to be in nola.. you can be in lake Charles, Metairie, you name it. The bottom line is that when you live in a place like that, don’t complain when your house washes away. It comes with the territory. Just like a Jew wouldn’t complain living in Israel when they have to go into their bomb shelter 3 times a day due to random missile attacks. It’s just normal everyday life and it’s nothing new, and it won’t be the last time. Move out of New Orleans area if you want to hold on to sentimental memorabilia. Otherwise, get a good insurance policy and enjoy your annual float trip

[@Willyk200921]

Tracie Myers I have lots of friends in Nola. I went to lsu. Yeah, I guess if I lii oh lived there I wouldn’t be concerned about the annual hurricane floods either. If I’m white, I’m probably wealthy and live in up town and even the Katrina waters wouldn’t touch my home. Fortunately New Orleans keeps everything segregated pretty well and is efficient at making sure the flood zones disproportionally impact black communities in the lower ward areas. No need to spread about the realities of living in an area by a warm ocean way under sea level that regularly floods, because, after all, it’s just a few black people. Won’t even make the news

[@RedGeomeryDash]

When that happened I was in Louisiana my cousins live there too, but they are ok
