Weather Channel - Hurricane Katrina - Aug 29, 2005 (630am Update)

[@eithnemelee2997]

I watched this unfold on TV as a little kid and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Big part of the reason why I am a meteorologist today.

[@mikec3949]

I was already 23 when Katrina happened but I had the same moment with Andrew in '92 when I was 10. That's what I got me really fascinated with weather. Well that and the blizzard of 93

[@weathercast521]

Same. This is so nostalgic for me, the music anyway and even the logos and font for weather icons

[@dbdchristopher]

I wanted to be one, but I like computers more, but I still learned about the weather, so I know what is happening.

[@LordKrhiyos]

Similar story here. I’m currently working my way into supporting the hurricane hunters program (ground based financial side) and hope to get in by 2025! Also, I’m working on a book series in which the one of the main villains is named Katrina and several aspects of her personality are based on the storm itself

[@RyanHeinzman1985]

I was watching this live in Oregon and was 20 at the time, in awe of how big it was

The Weather Channel BEFORE NBC bought it.

[@nuckymancini7013]

Turned it into stormstories 24/7/365

[@blatheringblathers347]

NBC made the dumb decision to buy The Weather Channel. From a local station standpoint, they had to sell off WNCN, WVTM, WJAR, and WCMH to Media General. That dumb decision also led to the death of NBC's own Weather Plus which they launched on its New York flagship WNBC.

[@austinm223]

I was between 11 or 12 years old sitting at home in South Florida watching this unfold the whole day. I had went to sleep night before when it was a cat 2. Then I woke up to a cat 5 a few hours later and I didin't know what to say.

[@domesticV1190XxOo]

[@utrrogue7030]

austin G i was 11 in gulfport, we were in a GREAT place but holy crap that eyewall. Little 11 year old me was already fascinated with meteorology and Jim Cantore was pretty much my hero. This was the last thing i saw on tv before the power went out and basically when it clicked "She's here"

[@smithdj416]

I was like 10 years old and in Daytona Beach remembering being at church the morning and seeing it at a category 5 that Sunday morning.

[@screamingminnow920]

i lived in ellisville, mississippi when it hit. i was only 4 so i don’t remember the details all that well and we were lucky in the sense that our house stayed in one piece other than parts of the roof, but it took my papa three days to reach somewhere with a working phone so he could call my nana (she was in vermont visiting family) that we were okay. she would’ve come home but the interstate was closed all the way to meridian from downed trees and debris. we went to biloxi and it was just rubble for miles upon miles with american flags dotted throughout. had it not been for the relief trucks that brought food and water down here i might not be sitting here right now typing this. we didn’t have power or water for i don’t know how long, my aunt apparently mentioned needing underwear to nana, something most people wouldn’t think of but if you can’t bathe you need clean underwear especially if you’re biologically female. i have a lot of friends who were relocated from nola and the surrounding area. sometimes i forget that something like katrina wasn’t part of everyone’s childhood.

Those Hurricane Katrina is Luisiana Misspspi Alabama Winds 86 mph. Why should Hurricane Katrina could those damage buildings?

[@korykent5645]

I'll never forget the day before. It was sunny beautiful Sunday, mom was cooking, I was doing chores and on TV was a massive cat 5 hurricane creeping up on Louisiana. My area wasn't affected very much as we were on the left side of the storm.

[@MarkMeadows90]

I was 15 years old when this occurred. I live in northern Alabama and we just got a lot of rain and some gusty wind. I felt so bad for the residents of coastal Louisiana and New Orleans. Watched a lot of Weather Channel and other news stations covering the situation as it was unfolding. Scary days those were.

[@armageddon6341]

I remember getting the EAS alert. The most scary Hurricane I've ever experienced. The damage of the Hurricane didn't scare me, it was how quickly it grew in strength. When this Hurricane was first announced, it was only a category 3 Hurricane, which is still powerful. Then, in a single night, it strengthened into a category 5 Hurricane. The fact that it grew in strength so quickly scared me.

[@michaelstein7510]

The EAS alert still sends chills down my spine. Anyone who heard that live in Louisiana and Mississippi was terrified. It probably saved thousands of lives by scaring people into evacuating before it was too late.

[@zyklone.mp4]

It would be nice if TWC went back to this style or used the old storm alert music for modern day storms.

The 2005 hurricane season and this music is the reason I am infatuated with weather now. Very nostalgic! I was 8 years old when Hurricane Katrina made landfall.

[@josiahstearns9615]

I was just shy of 13 years old when this happened. We lived in NY at the time and as a kid i felt anxiety for LA and New Orleans. Had NO idea that it would be as disastrous as it was (as im sure others couldn't fully comprehend what was about to take place and all the damage that came - much of that due to the inferior levee system.) I also remmeber CLEAR AS DAY, a little over a year after this, the Saints had their first game back in the Super Dome against the Falcs. I remember watching part of it before bedtime and then i remember sneaking up late and somehow listening to the game either on the radio or something else. But i remember tearing up a little when the Saints won that first game - sort of a welcome back to all the residents that had to deal with all the damage and disaster left in the wake of Katrina and especially those that took shelter in the Super Dome in the days that followed the landfall.

[@mikeyg.thecnanddisneyfan9069]

Yeah, I heard about people seeking refuge in the New Orleans Superdome during Katrina. There were a LOT of germs and bacteria, not to mention the smell of all that stuff on the inside was awful, especially in the aftermath.

[@angeldobbs304]

Hurricane Katrina was the reason my grandma and I found and started watching the Weather Channel. We lived in the Great Lakes and got the remains of the storm it rained for a few days. I was like 7 I remember my grandma saying I hope they found Jesus cause if they didn’t get out of there. They might meet him let’s hope not.

[@mikeyg.thecnanddisneyfan9069]

Me, too. I had no idea that was going to happen on August 15, 2005 (Which was shockingly exactly two weeks before Katrina made landfall). Plus, they even had that Local on The 8s bumper where it would show a man walking on a calm beach, and it would show a vertical blue rectangle (representing the logo) of a little dimension of bad weather. The man opens an umbrella as he walks through, then a woman off screen says: "Now from The Weather Channel, here's your Local on the 8s." The rectangle then disappears, and the words "Local on the 8s" appear, accompanied by a rather eerie version of the LOT8s jingle. I'd get scared when they'd go to commercials, because I knew that bumper was going to come on at any moment and catch me off guard! But then I eventually got used to it when it was brought back in 2007.

I was in my former auto shop in Syracuse New York watching this storm unfold and we tuned our NOAA Weather Radio to the National Weather Service in New Orleans issuing a hurricane warning for the state of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi on September 11th 2005 we had a national response team callout to New Orleans Louisiana because not only that hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans but also a number of EF5 tornadoes hit New Orleans as well so we responded from Syracuse New York to New Orleans Louisiana and got there within a few days and we head into the French Quarter and we see numerous amounts of damage from the storm and we knew people’s lives were totaled and that the survivors were buried underneath the rubble with the lost lives from all the homes totaled and leveled by the storm so we immediately took action and got to work right away and we used our saws as well as our pry bars to cut and pry away the broken pieces of wood as well as broken pieces of plaster and concrete to find the dead bodies and the survivors and after 5 hours of digging we found the survivors and pulled them to safety but we had a long 10 months of finding everyone that was still alive when they were buried underneath the rubble on every block around New Orleans and then we found the other survivors but we couldn’t find the deceased bodies because of how deep they were buried under the pile after 10 months of digging and searching we identified these dead bodies and did some DNA testing and analysis and found out who these people were and where they were from we then saw a set of wings badge and an identification card that had a name but I’m not gonna leak out his name since this dead person didn’t want his name leaked out to anyone that’s younger and wasn’t around at the time and we found out he was a captain of American Airlines and so we identified him by the name on his identification card and then we did a background check on this deceased man but found nothing except his recent jobs he was at before aviation school we found multiple deceased cops from the New Orleans Police Department and we identified these officers and we went to FEMA and they found more information about these late individuals and they found out about their past such as medical and mental and even criminal since some of the individuals were in the penitentiary not far from the French Quarter and so we then spent a few days or even a few months trying to rebuild the city of New Orleans and we got somewhere so on December 23rd 2006 we left New Orleans and headed back to Syracuse New York same idea for when Sandy had slammed the East Coast and caused major damage

[@1.6180-t]

I remember Katrina and how the weather reporters were commenting on how odd it was that it was rotating in a clockwise direction this far north of the equator. They went on and on about that oddity and were very shocked. By the way, it was in the Gulf of Mexico at the time. Then after a break, they stopped talking about it and it was shown rotating counter-clockwise. I have been searching ever since for anyone that recorded it but have come up dry. I will never stop searching though since it was also very odd to me that it spun clockwise and then how they flipped the image. Did anyone else witness that as well and if so did you happen to record it. If you did, please share it with me so I can stop searching and lay it to rest.

This was, in reality, the peak and valley of western civilization put into one, the peak because the weather channel is so awesome, the valley because, well, Katrina was a horrible storm.

[@Hyucklings]

I know someone who said they had to stay on their roof during the hurricane bc the storm surge was so bad and flooding was high

Does anyone know this song? I remember this song!

It's the Storm Alert Theme. I believe it was used from Katrina to 2008.

They should obviously bring that storm work music back

Oh, they should! Plus, The Weather Channel needs to bring back the 3-Day Forecasts on the Satellite Local Forecast, and make it 2 Minutes like it used to be!

When this program aired I was in my house 45 miles south of New Orleans and floating down the street in it. Sun was up and the eye passed over about an hour later. An exciting night to say the least.

[@CALLAHAN19]

7pm the evening of 8-28-05 in Chalmette a Friend of mind passed over after telling him 2 days prior I was staying, so we went outside an he pulls out a joint an I took maybe 4 hits, it turned out to be the worst thing I could have done, I got paranoid because everything seemed 10 times more intense... by 9pm I felt normally again... By 10:30AM I'm sitting on the tip of my damn roof,,, Then around 7pm that evening on Monday that's when I started fighting off the snakes off my roof...

[@screamingminnow920]

you can barely see my man in MS and people still act like the storm itself was worse in LA. flooding was worse because of the sea level and nothing holding it back.

[@flskywarn]

screamingminnow factually that’s only partially correct. The levee system in New Orleans was designed to protect against up to a category 3 hurricane. Problem is storm surge from a category 5 hurricane was already being produced and the continental shelf there is extremely shallow therefor storm surge was what caused the levee system to fail and thereby flood the city. Now, Mississippi being right front quadrant which New Orleans was not had the worst of everything wind and surge included.

[@Saint_Turk]

I dislike how the narrative has become solely about New Orleans. Communities for hundreds of miles got absolutely leveled but it's touted as the New Orleans disaster. Nitpicking, I suppose, but it really displays the big city bias we have in America.
