Hurricane Katrina Historic Storm Surge Video - Gulfport, Mississippi

www.UltimateCha...
Exclusive (Emmy Award) video shot by Mike Theiss from ground zero of Hurricane Katrina's historic 28 foot storm surge that ripped through Gulfport, Mississippi on August 29th, 2005. This video has a time stamp to give a complete and accurate timeline from the Holiday Inn beachfront hotel located directly on the beach in Gulfport. Also, included are shots from the Theiss-Device which is a camera housing designed by Mike to be placed in a place that would be too dangerous from any human to survive. This 13 minute video will give you a sense of just how bad Katrina was on the Gulf Coast without actually putting you in harms way !!!
To see the entire version of this video about 2 hours in duration please purchase the DVD "Battle at the Beachfront". www.BattleAtThe...
We hope this documentation helps enforce a sense of storm awareness and a respect for the power of mother nature. When local officials ask you to evacuate just think of this video and ask yourself do you want to risk being put in a situation like this ?

Lost both of my parents in Katrina, in Bay St Louis,Ms. They refuse to leave. They NEVER left for any storm. Dad was 82, Mom was 78. My husband and I floated in 10 feet of water for 3.5 hours. Believe me, nobody should ever go through this. Always stay safe and attempt to help others.

[@kalely_rae1844]

I was starting the 2nd grade in August of 2005, in Biloxi Mississippi. I remember all the hurricanes we were hit with in 2004 and I would help my dad board up our windows. We were used to it at that point so we never really feared hurricanes. However, I still vividly remember the look of fear on my dads face as he watched the news coverage for Hurricane Katrina; I remember how he told us to all go and quickly grab clothes, two toys, and our precious belongings. Terrified and panicked, we left in the middle of the night for Texas, since we had family there. For the next six weeks, we were unable to go back home since the roads were un-drivable. But once we were able to go "home", I acquired one of the most painful memories I still have to this day. My town and my home were completely abolished, trash and debris still COVERED the ground more than a month later. I saw dead animals/pets rotting in the road and every belonging that we had in that house was scattered across our front yard in trash. The only thing that stood where our house used to be was the brick walls. The ceilings, furniture, drywall, etc. of our house were completely washed away. Our one-story house was COMPLETELY submerged during the storm! We had to couch surf with people who still had houses for many weeks after that since we were homeless at that point. I'll never forget the force that was Hurricane Katrina nor the look of absolute terror on my dads face and his tears in the aftermath. Its haunting...

[@Lizasteruu1]

Most people didn't leave because they COULDN'T leave! They had no money, no transportation and no where to go! To blame the victims is asinine. Everything that could have been done by government officials was NOT! the levees were built to fail, the rescue missions came way too late, and fell horribly short, the evacuation orders came way too late and no help was offered. Blame the people that sat in air conditioned buildings, kicking the responsibility down the line, while they held all the power to actually make a difference.

[@MissiSIMPi]

I was in the military at that time and left for Florida the morning before the hurricane arrived. I took US Highway 90 from Broad Avenue (Gulfport) to US Highway 63 (Pascagoula) to the I-10 Freeway (Moss Point) and had no issues with traffic until I arrived in Pensacola. I came back to Gulfport the day after the hurricane went through because I did not want anyone calling me to get back to work. Some left for a few months after the storm. I was only in the country for a week while most people on our deployment were stuck in Atlanta and many of them lost everything. I purposely took HWY 90 because I knew the place would change, but did not think it would change like it did. To this day, I am so glad that I evacuated.

[@llallogen7380]

@@healingv1sion On the coast of MS, I think Katrina had a bigger impact on us than 9/11. While only ~1800 deaths are attributed to Katrina, the death toll is estimated around 3000. So many people experienced homelessness, poor living conditions, an extreme shift in lifestyle, and experienced the trauma more directly than came with seeing 9/11 on the news. Surfing out of your house on a mattress, going to check on a neighbor only to find their body, standing on an upside down car with a satellite phone on the interstate where the only vehicles that pass you are military ones, or waving down a helicopter in your neighborhood to get MREs...those were more defining for the most severely affected.

It was mind blowing to have access to see the destruction from hwy 90 where some of the casinos were gone from their barges!

A person can only try to imagine what a storm like Katrina would be like, but this video shows me that I could never imagine how terrifying it actually was. The unforgiving strength of the water and the destruction it caused. The helplessness of there being nothing a person could do but hope and pray. And what about people who couldn't get to higher ground? I can't imagine the horror they went through. It's easy to become desensitized in todays' society, but this video really made me stop and take notice and think about what those people went through. Absolutely heartbreaking.

[@metalmamasue3680]

It's amazing footage and the raw power of mother nature is insane, she wins almost every time. I've always been a hurricane watching geek. Maybe because when I was 8 yrs old, we had severe flooding from Hurricane Agnes in late June of 1972, in PA. But it wasn't nearly as bad as Katrina. 50 people died just in PA and many places saw over a foot of rain. The small town I grew up in was flanked on either side by a creek, both flooded several feet over their banks. I lived a block from one of them. We had no power for days and the yards & streets were all like a stream, you could've taken a small boat down most of them. I remember it very well, it was the worst weather event I've ever experienced. My grandfather tried to take his rowboat and come check on us but the National Guard made him turn back since it was too dangerous, there was severe flooding between where we lived. In total, the storm caused $2-3 billion dollars in damage, closer to $20 billion by today's cost, it took 128 lives and was the costliest storm ever at that time. Agnes stalled over the Mid-Atlantic states and it rained for like 3 days straight, PA was hit very hard. It's a reminder that the water is more deadly than the wind in tropical systems, between storm surge and flooding. This year, 2022 is the 50th anniversary of Agnes. RIP to all lives lost in these storms, I hope people take them seriously and leave if at all possible. Kudos to the brave or crazy people who stay to record them so we can get an idea of what it's like to be in their path.

I will say it again, this is the ultimate video regarding one of the most terrible storm tragedies in the history of man. THIS, is what deadly storm surge looks like and a hurricane that was grossly misinterpreted when it came on shore with winds exceeding well over 130 mph from a pressure read of 920 mb. The weather channel and others even with the technology we had back in 2005 completely misread the power of this storm approaching land as a category 3. Anytime a hurricane's pressure falls down to 920 and less, you have a major, major, storm power. The read of 966 mb at the start of the video was the outer approach bands which is unbelievable considering that wasn't even the start of the wall eye.

I was living in Ocean Springs, MS when Katrina was headed toward the coast. I warned everyone I could to please evacuate. Most ppl stayed. I couldn't believe it. I left 3 days before it hit and watched on TV at my Momma's house in central louisiana. My best friend was living 2 blocks from the beach. I heard from her 5 days after the storm hit. She said she was just getting ready to climb in the attic with the pets who were now floating around on a mattress when she noticed the water started receding. She said it looked like a huge swimming pool when she looked out of her sliding glass doors. Others I know had to swim across streets to neighbors. When I finally made it home I couldn't believe what I saw. I know New Orleans went through hell and I will not make light of what they went through. I am here to tell you, the MS gulf coast was smashed. Flattened all the way past Interstate 10. My cottage was on high ground and amazingly enough, no damage at all. Please evacuate if you are able to. You and your family's life depends on it.

[@carissafrederick9963]

Your video made me emotional! God bless y'all for being on the beach during the storm! Also, I noticed he said Cat 4 in the video. Katrina was a Cat 5 when she hit. I don't think everyone was aware of how bad she was at the time. I live in Pass Christian, north of the tracks. Although the area I live in doesn't have to worry about flooding, we had to go through the wind, rain, and tornadoes. I lost my home to a tornado during Katrina. Multiple homes on my street were hit. The house we stayed in during the storm was walking distance to my house. It was a brick home. We had stayed there before for storms, but did not expect this. I sat on the couch during the storm and watched the walls in the hallway weave in and out. The wind picked up the back of one of the vehicles, almost sending it flying, but it landed back down. Nothing in this world could have prepared us for the devastation that Katrina brought. When I tell y'all no one knew it would be this bad, we really didn't. I begged my mama to let me stay in our house (it was a trailer) because none of the other storms had been bad, and I knew this one wouldn't either. I wouldn't be here today had we have stayed. Katrina devastated us all. We lost so much yet gained much more in return. The amount of love and support from so many, including our own communities, was astounding. Katrina will be burned into my memory for the rest of my life, and I can promise you one thing: I will NOT be staying for the next bad one. Hell, I hope I'm not alive by the time the next one comes!

This scattering left a gaping hole in the social fabric of the city, taking years of painstaking effort to stitch back together. Things are not the same anymore in New Orleans this hurricane killed 1,392 people and most were black . Then here comes hurricane Ida it destroyed even more houses , Buildings , and structures . Ida killed 30 people and i knew half of them . Mississippi has had 2 people who died from hurricane Ida and 238 has died in hurricane Katrina I don't want to diminish their losses , but Mississippi had it bad but they most differently didn't have it worst than us .
