I work for the power company. When Katrina came, our initial call was to go to Mississippi to assist. When we got there, there were no homes left on the foundations where they sent us. They then sent us to Louisiana. Had to sleep in our bucket trucks or the back of pick up trucks because of no power or as we got closer to the center of destruction, there were no more available rooms left. We finally found a hotel at 2am Just north of Lake Pontchartrain. There was no power but at least it was a bed to sleep in. We set poles for four days straight in this area. As our company was reassesing where we were to set up "base" we could only go up to the 17th street bridge because the water levels were still 3/4 of the way up the houses. It was devastating to see the damage and piled up debris that was pushed in from the shore areas. Those who had boats, left them lined up in rows at the 17th street bridge areas and abandoned them. One of the bad things about the levees/locks is they're useless without power to the pumps. During Katrina, they were working to the point of self destruction because they were basically recirculating the water once the levees were breached. Once this was known, the shore side of the 17th street bridge was isolated and we began repairs on the inland side. As if things weren't bad enough, once we were restoring power to the inland side, random houses started burning down because of gas leaks. People would up and leave without shutting their main breakers off and other utilities. This is sometimes worse because the emergency system is already overloaded and no one will come to the rescue. By the time you see it, it's too late. A house that sustained moderate damage is now a pile of ashes because of internal damages that weren't seen. Louisiana is a known low land. If something like this comes your way, it's best to evacuate if you can and are able to. It's not worth the loss. That was a bad year. I worked Katrina, Rita, Wilma and Ophelia all in a row. Having one storm is one thing. Having back to back storms in a region is another. Stay safe people and know when to leave.
Baton Rouge native. I’ve seen Katrina, Gustav, Andrew in the 90s, and never left, I “rode” dem out. I’m not riding this out, hello Houston. Everybody stay safe, don’t play around with this storm

I’m currently studying meteorology and atmospheric science and although I may not be anywhere close to an expert, I can tell you that what this storm is doing and it’s rapid intensification, is absolutely insane. I have never in my years of studies heard of a storm that has dropped in pressure as much as IDA. This is 2005’s Katrina all over again. If you are anywhere in central or south Louisiana, evacuate now!
@@florptytoo they were reinforced after Katrina but this is gonna hit harder. Hopefully that reinforcement was a well done job and no short cuts made otherwise I doubt they will
My daughter and her family live an hour north of NO. She is currently working in a EOC. I am grateful for this information because she tells me not to worry but I know she is worried. Prayers for all affected by IDA. The timing couldn’t be worse
If your daughter’s an hour north of N.O. she’s going to be ok! I live in Lake Charles and my city experienced 150 mph winds last year during Hurricane Laura! It’s going to get hairy where she lives and they’ll likely lose power but Ida will have weakened quite a bit by the time it gets to her. She’s going to be fine! Prayers for her safety! God bless!

That's bizarre to think & true, but also advancment in technology in social design will make a that more manageable that what happening now one does surmise
Scary times ahead indeed once Antarctica and the remaining ice caps are no more we can be looking at prehistoric storms. Even with our technology it's hard to even monitor how strong they were back then. It only gets worst. We currently have wildfires in every region across the globe.
Same; it's been on my bucket list of places I'd like to visit when I actually have money for years now. I was technically alive during Katrina, but was too young to remember anything, so all my knowledge of it was picked up via learning about it in school and stuff I've heard after the fact. I'm kind of wondering if this is what it felt like for ppl in landlocked states, watching Katrina bear down, bc I keep seeing ppl mention Katrina, and it feels weird
@@lzrshark617 a lot mention Katrina because many were urged to evacuate and many weren't scared so they stayed out figuring it can't be worse than other past "strong" storms. That's why many were lost, killed, and trapped in the area for long periods of time with no aid. It was a devastating storm to the area and it didn't help that the levees failed so the city flooded badly.
@@unknownnln9172 Hopefully that'll decrease the number of casualties; at least some people are taking lessons from the dead. Thank you for the explanation/more detail; info that helps me understand what's going on better is always appreciated
I know we don't know each other, but would it be possible (assuming you still have power and would not be in danger doing so) for you to reply/update later in the day to let us know you're ok? This storm's making me nervous, and I live in f*cking Indiana. I can't even imagine what people who live in Ida's path must be feeling right now
Lord have mercy please if you're in the path of the storm please get out safely, praying for you! I live in Merryville Louisiana when Laura hit we went to Hot springs Arkansas when we come back lights were out days on end not good during summer time! Someone was going around stealing all the generator gas!
Watching from Australia. I am hoping that everyone stays safe. It is so scary. Hold fast your loved ones and special thoughts for your pets.God speed your safety.
It feels like its gonna be a Category 5, It become cat-4 in just hours after crossing the deep warm sea in gulf of mexico, this will be devastating, praying for everyone out there🙏
@@CBT5777 Your right. Praying does nothing if you don't have your sins forgiven by Jesus Christ who died on the Cross 2,000 years ago and arose on the third day. When you are forgiven, prayers can move mountains because you have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. God loves you and wants you to turn away from sin and turn towards Him to receive eternal life. Please read in the Bible John 3:16-21, Romans 3:23, 6:23, 10:8-11 and Acts 2 :21 to learn how to be forgiven and receive Jesus for a new life! In case you think you don't need Jesus then please read in the Bible Luke 16:1-19 which is a chilling account of a man who died without Christ...his choice. Hell is a real place of eternal torment. Please don't send yourself there. Praying for you.

@@thomasgriffith2953 You must fear the wrath of the almighty GOD!
@@thomasgriffith2953 Only JESUS CHRIST can save your soul from the flames of hell!
You alphabet guys try too hard and its starting to show.
I predicted all this because of the intense pain I had a couple days ago I always feel like I'm gonna implode from the central low pressures
🇬🇧 here. Praying for you all. Hunker down and stay safe. Look out for your neighbors.
This will be considered a small storm within 30 years...scary times ahead..hope you people are ok and get through safe😷🤞
That's bizarre to think & true, but also advancment in technology in social design will make a that more manageable that what happening now one does surmise
Scary times ahead indeed once Antarctica and the remaining ice caps are no more we can be looking at prehistoric storms. Even with our technology it's hard to even monitor how strong they were back then. It only gets worst. We currently have wildfires in every region across the globe.
Damn I've never visited New Orleans.. hope it's still there after this
Same; it's been on my bucket list of places I'd like to visit when I actually have money for years now. I was technically alive during Katrina, but was too young to remember anything, so all my knowledge of it was picked up via learning about it in school and stuff I've heard after the fact. I'm kind of wondering if this is what it felt like for ppl in landlocked states, watching Katrina bear down, bc I keep seeing ppl mention Katrina, and it feels weird
@@lzrshark617 a lot mention Katrina because many were urged to evacuate and many weren't scared so they stayed out figuring it can't be worse than other past "strong" storms. That's why many were lost, killed, and trapped in the area for long periods of time with no aid. It was a devastating storm to the area and it didn't help that the levees failed so the city flooded badly.
@@lzrshark617 that's another reason why with this storm you see so many more actually evacuating. Katrina messed a lot of people up mentally.
@@unknownnln9172 Hopefully that'll decrease the number of casualties; at least some people are taking lessons from the dead. Thank you for the explanation/more detail; info that helps me understand what's going on better is always appreciated
I’ll be going through this mess in just a few hours in Metairie.
Me too! 😱
I know we don't know each other, but would it be possible (assuming you still have power and would not be in danger doing so) for you to reply/update later in the day to let us know you're ok? This storm's making me nervous, and I live in f*cking Indiana. I can't even imagine what people who live in Ida's path must be feeling right now
@Jordan Issaquah I'm pretty sure the ppl who are about to experience it dont think so.
Stay safe prayers🙏
08-29-21. 10:00 A.M. light squalls and rain passing through at the moment. Conditions expected to decline.
Stay safe everyone
Pray everybody that ❤🙏👆Jesus dissipates the storm. Why does the storm curve instead of going straight across the land when it hits?
Lord have mercy please if you're in the path of the storm please get out safely, praying for you! I live in Merryville Louisiana when Laura hit we went to Hot springs Arkansas when we come back lights were out days on end not good during summer time! Someone was going around stealing all the generator gas!
Didn’t the mayor of New Orleans tell everyone yesterday that there was no time to call for mandatory evacuation so everyone needs to shelter in place?
From what I saw on the news here in Chicago the Mayor said for everyone to leave
@@elizabethspence3499 watch the day before
Prayers!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great coverage , simple and direct not a lot of "HOWEVERS!!!!!!
Watching from Australia. I am hoping that everyone stays safe. It is so scary. Hold fast your loved ones and special thoughts for your pets.God speed your safety.
Omg it's coming I live near the new Orleans coast
If you cant get out,have a way to the roof,wear a life jacket and a helmet of some kind if you have them. I hope you make it.
Bro with all seriousness, R.I.P
Baton Rouge and West Orleans about to get rocked
For some reason lots of people always underestimate the damage until whatever cameras still work send back the pictures.
It feels like its gonna be a Category 5, It become cat-4 in just hours after crossing the deep warm sea in gulf of mexico, this will be devastating, praying for everyone out there🙏
Prayer does nothing.
@@CBT5777 But Sometimes Prayer makes Miracle, and take that chance
@@CBT5777 pointing out that fact does nothing either
I agree... Cat 5 is likely.
@@CBT5777 Your right. Praying does nothing if you don't have your sins forgiven by Jesus Christ who died on the Cross 2,000 years ago and arose on the third day. When you are forgiven, prayers can move mountains because you have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. God loves you and wants you to turn away from sin and turn towards Him to receive eternal life. Please read in the Bible John 3:16-21, Romans 3:23, 6:23, 10:8-11 and Acts 2 :21 to learn how to be forgiven and receive Jesus for a new life! In case you think you don't need Jesus then please read in the Bible Luke 16:1-19 which is a chilling account of a man who died without Christ...his choice. Hell is a real place of eternal torment. Please don't send yourself there. Praying for you.
What a coincidence- Haarp!!
The earth protects itself. Beautiful
Unbelievable!!! Our Prayers Goes Out To Everyone In The Path of This Monster Storm..Lord! Be With Them, Slow This Storm Down .. Plz, Protect Everyone.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dear God!
What a nice guy
Loving his accent🤗
Let’s hope the government learnt after Katrina that they can’t just leave poor people stranded if it gets bad ,
Who is in charge of FEMA this time?
Hunkering down at this point.
Hope you'll be ok.
Meteorologists are the only people in the MSM who actually do their job. Everyone else wants to pAiNt a PiCtUrE
Apparently you have not researched journalism awards. Good journalism is vital to freedom. The media that is not journalism is Newsmax and AON. FOX is at the bottom of mainstream media with only one Emmy for one interview and that was years ago. Pathetic FOX……lol.
@@katem.8816 Kate, the media's job is to push the globalist agenda, not report the news. You are living in an outdated echo chamber.
CNN = Warner Media = AT&T
NBC = Comcast
ABC = Disney
CBS = Viacom = National Amusements
Sky = Comcast
Publicly traded multinational marketing and entertainment corporations with an agenda. How you can't know this in 2021 is beyond me. Now call me crazy and carry on being marketed to by propagandists.
@@Netbug She still thinks there's a difference between Fox and CNN. That's cute.
@@katem.8816 An Emmy? That's a trade show award not a Pulitzer. Even the Pulitzer is irrelevant now just like the Nobel Peace Prize which Obama won for literally doing nothing. Then he went on to start another war and drone strike American citizens. News flash: Awards are propaganda too. BTW, half of your favorite liberal television shows are owned by 20th Century Fox which is owned by Disney, lol.
Pray for us sinners and all in the Name of our Jesus Christ Amen
🙏
prayers for all during this storm
Well I can tell you why this is happening check out the space weather and be warned, please be safe everyone. Godspeed
Hang on tight folks. We feel for you. from Florida.
Sir, my understanding to the huricane / typhoon if landfall to the land. The winds are more than 130 mph by 10% or more stronger over the land that is our typhoon experience in the Philippines.....
Let's go!!! Looks beautiful
Pray in The name of Yahuah for safety he is Elohiym of all
YAHUWAH is not happy this world refuses to turn to THE CRESTORS. we will surely be witnessing the Wrath of our Creators ELOHIM ..Mercy has run out.
@@Koko-55533 amen Yahuah Tseva'oth is ready and the prophecies are coming to pass. WOE be unto you, Babel, and Asia! woe be unto you, Mitsrayim and Aram! EZRA REVIY`IY (4 EZRA) 16:1 את CEPHER
Please guys and gals down there in the south.......take cover! I'm praying for all you guys. Find something solid on high grounds and wait this thing out!
Staying in a sea level house right now , is NOT a smart thing to do!

The alphabet crew loves to play the harp.
Katrina was only a 3 when it made landfall. I live about 3.5 hours north of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and we were pounded by Katrina living that far inland. No power for 9 days!! This one is projected to go right over the top of us. Y'all stay safe!!
Thank you
I pray God have Mercy on those people who are in Harms way. Please pray and ask God to help you all.. this Hurricane came through the Cayman Islands as a Tropical Storm with little to no Damage.
God Bless you good People over in the Gulf Coast.
XOXO. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
