Hurricane Katrina - New Orleans Storm Surge

[@alybriere4440]

1,300 people died in New Orleans because of the city’s negligence. They knew for many years the levees were faulty and needed to be reconstructed..so much damage and lives lost which could have easily been avoided...Smh

[@CoTreyLoZ]

Those people shouldn't have stayed...but I agree with the negligence.

@@CoTreyLoZ Lot's of those poor souls lived paycheck to paycheck and didn't have the funds or means to get out. Maybe they didn't have an 8 seat big ass SUV to to get out of Dodge with. You don't think before you comment do you Cory.

@@suzvalentino1901 They could've went to shelters in the city. There were ways to get out if you wanted to get out. Most folks who stayed done so cause they wanted to or they "didn't think it was going to be so bad." Well, guess what.

[@itstherealkraven]

as someone from louisiana, we are raised to help our neighbors no matter what bc we get hit w hurricanes almost every year. we literally have a ‘hurricane season’ thing going on. people are still living in those terrible FEMA trailers, there are places that have been shut down forever since katrina and the 2016 floods. trust even when the world won’t help us, louisiana got each other’s backs in the end

[@Layton_2010]

I used to get so aggravated when all I hear is “NOLA this NOLA that” when the subject of Katrina comes up. Over the years I got over it but I can at least say that Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama were all affected greatly by Katrina. However people who were not in MS during Katrina’s impact/wrath will never understand the frustration the media caused us when our MS coastal cities all looked like they were nuked by an atomic bomb - then when you talk to other people from other places about Katrina, people ask “Oh I thought the storm hit New Orleans?” -_- During Katrina in MS, I watched a tornado touchdown and wipe out an entire FAMILY (yes you read that right!), buildings collapsing, waves of water, 9 hours of constant 120mph roaring wind, dead bodies all over the beaches, etc. and then after the storm, we lived outside for two weeks praying that it would rain cause of the heat and dehydration. That experience really messed with me physically and mentally. Yet, the levees break in NOLA and all of a sudden (me as a MS Katrina survivor) according to the media, I was no longer classified as a Katrina victim. Don’t get me wrong, what happened in NOLA was messed up! But let me just say this, Mississippi got the brunt of the STORM, Louisiana’s main issue was the levees breaking -which was due to poor management and the priorities of the city. No this is not a competition of who got affected more by the storm. We can ALL agree that Katrina affected us all. The point in me adding this post is because of the media. The media hates our state for some reason... I guess you would only understand if you lived here. A nuclear bomb could literally explode in the city of Biloxi and the media would somehow make it about New Orleans. It’s annoying always being the shadow of another city for no reason at all. If it’s not NOLA, it’s Mobile. 🙄 (I love both cities by the way! Nothing against you guys that live there, you know what I mean)

[@RetroHabit82]

Right! All new Orleans suffered was flooding the hurricane destroyed Miss and Bama

[@BigGirlGibbs84]

Lance Ladner ...I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.😪🙏🏾I hate that Mississippi and other states were lost in the media tellings. I know it had to be HARD for your city to SUFFER AS IT DID and to be totally disregarded. My husband at the time and brother N law came down after the storm to Biloxi(I think that's where we came too initially)they WORKED TO CLEAN UP AFTER KATRINA. We purchased our own trailer(those FEMA trailers were large/nice)but too costly and later determined to be health hazards with that Formaldehyde in them. The location in Mississippi where we parked our trailer did look like an atomic bomb had struck the area. I have my own video footage to prove it. So I know exactly what your city endured, it was HEART WRENCHING TO SEE & EXPERIENCE even arriving after the storm. So what you are saying is WARRANTED and TRUE. I Pray that here in 2019 that life has returned to some sort of normalcy for you and your loved ones. I know it will NEVER EVER BE THE SAME.

[@BigGirlGibbs84]

YES it was Biloxi, MS where we stayed. Lance what was one of the strongest things in my mind that I saw was a LARGE!! and I do mean LARGE PIECE OF IRON or STEEL that was wrapped around a McDonald's Sign as if it was rubber!! It was something that I never knew was even POSSIBLE. You could not have told me, even SEEING IT WITH ME OWN EYES that it was possible, I WAS IN TOTAL DISBELIEF. That let us know the severity of Hurricane Katrina on Biloxi. And along that stretch of beach(I'm unfamiliar with what you all call that area), there was a church we were told was OVER 100 Years old that was totally GUTTED. And everything along that stretch for MILES was obliterated. I took photos and video because people sitting at home behind their TV screens had no idea of the REAL IMPACT. Lance this is bringing back so so many horrible memories right now for me, so I could only PRAY for what it was like for you all as actual residents of Biloxi. I know there are places in your city that probably NEVER RECOVERED or was never rebuilt by your city. One thing Hurricane Katrina showed me was the POWER OF A HURRICANE or STORM OF THAT MAGNITUDE.

[@BigGirlGibbs84]

@@RetroHabit82 YES it DESTROYED Biloxi MS. That was wind and water damage that we saw.

[@itstherealkraven]

@RetroHabit82 NOLA was the main place it hit, MS and AL were side places that got drug into it all. new orleans went UNDERWATER w 20 ft surge waves. that’s not ‘just flooding’. it went to the tip of roofs on multiple level homes. everyone suffered. people died. it wasn’t like it was a foot or two of flooding. we deal with that all the time in louisiana so to call katrina just a ‘flood’ shows you don’t experience these things often. we have NEVER been thru something like that since other than the 2016 floods

@@CoTreyLoZ You sound like a pompous idiot. Most of the people that were in that area were living paycheck-to-paycheck. So if you're barely paying your rent or usually deciding if you should pay your light bill VS having bus fare for the week to get to work how are you going to fuel up a car or even get a car and go ELSEWHERE especially when many peoples families ALSO lived in the same area.

[@tubafats100]

TJ Devereaux 😂 man where are you from? This is the south we have some of the oldest neighborhoods and houses in the country. Here in New Orleans most of the houses are literally 60 or 70 years old and a lot of the people live below the poverty line which means they can’t afford to make the structure stronger. Now after Katrina most homes that had to be rebuilt from the ground up are built better, but a lot of homes only got water damage which means they only fixed the inside of the home but they made no effort to stabilize the homes.

[@crawfish70510]

TJ Devereaux well. You definitely aren't from here..idioracracy at its finest... 1. Its the GULF not the Ocean 2. Mostly old homes..but knew homes also got screwed up 3..lets see how you would survive waves of over 15 feet coming in back to back 4..RESEARCH the power of water and what it can do 5..we do have building codes..

[@crawfish70510]

TJ Devereaux Since u FRENCH you should know NEW ORLEANS is 1 of the oldest cities in the us.

[@itstherealkraven]

nola is known for its tiny streets in the main areas. it’s cause it was built back in the 1800’s where there were just horse drawn carriages. you can only have one line of cars at a time on those streets, mainly everyone is walking. it’s a largely historical place and a main tourist attraction for louisiana bc of that. please do research guys before jumping the gun to judge others with bad attitudes💀

Look at the Lorentz effect...How and why Tornados and Hurricanes form? They use electricity from ground to space inside this arc gap of the atmosphere. They are nothing more than an Electro Magnetic Vortex created by the flow of energy fro the ground to the edge of space. Here is the simple tornado and hurricane model in the laboratory... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXLPYn-MhceMnrs ElectroMagnetic Vortex by Magnetflipper shows how a six volt battery and a neo magnet produces a viscous tornado or hurricane underwater. our atmosphere is moist and water droplets do hold a slight magnetic field thus is the Lorentz force or something very similar. Water vapor created by transmutation kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn64g3-Kg9l0qZo yes, when the atmosphere spins water droplets are magnetized by lightning and the spinning atmosphere actually creates a form of planetary electrical charge. Here is the math equation for the Lorentz force animation kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKjMfIWfqJZna6c
