"ENE winds at 25 to 40 mph, increasing to over 100 mph."
WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY
Mitch Drabenstott 😂😂
Fr that was crazy.
At that moment right there at 2:45AM I was my most nervous time.. I can hear my heart beat through inside my ears...I just couldn't believe my eyes.. Where you born an raised you think your town is untouchable.... I'm 5 miles inland in Chalmette an had 14ft of water.. Horrible at night on that roof.. fighting off snakes from the freaking roof like you wouldn't believe...
I wasn't alive but damn that's crazy, crazy how it's been 19 years
I mean that really escalated fast
That local on the 8s voice really should have been saying "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW!!!"
that is the most insane weather forecast i've ever heard. It's funny how computerized and impersonal it is. Just ho-hum, here's the forecast. You're about to get fuckin ROCKED.
Hey, nothing to worry about, the winds will diminish to 80-100mph later in the day!
Lol
the daypart forecast from the previous video showed E 104mph.
they didn't have anything better to show that sun and showers there?
@@steelfan81 Weather Channel Icons back in the day were so poorly implemented and designed lol. The last thing ill think about when a major Hurricane approaches is the sun coming out🤣
"...cause major damage to even WELL CONSTRUCTED buildings. Higher wind speeds will be SIGNIFICANTLY stronger on upper floors of tall buildings causing damage. o_o

....
....DIRECT STRIKE OF POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC AND LIFE THREATENING HURRICANE EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY....0_0

...expect fair skies Tuesday through Thursday :)"
That local forecast is a very creepy thing to see. Usually, the local forecast doesn't go into much detail, even when severe weather is predicted. But when it says things like winds of 140MPH in your local forecast... it just gives me chills!
I live across the line in Washington Parish, LA. When I went to bed around 2 am early Sunday morning...Katrina was just upgraded to a Category 4. About 5 hours later, I was jarred awake by the phone - it was my dad asking me to come help board up his house. His words: "Katrina is a Cat. 5." I turned on TWC and sure enough, there was a similar forecast for my area. I was still groggy...the music helped scared the sh*t out of me and woke me up real quick!
I remember Katrina very well. I was only 11 and we stayed in Metairie. The wind was gusting well over 100 and there was serious flooding. I will definitely remember this for the rest of my life.
Actually it pounded us here on the Mississippi Coast harder than New Orleans because we were on the worst side of the storm and had the stronger winds and the storm surge....New Orleans disaster was pretty much man made because of the levee failures...if the levees wouldn't have failed New Orleans would have been fine.
I blame the Navy
I live about a 10-15 min drive from the coast...rainfall totals were unavailable because the instrumentation was damaged or because power went out...my Davis Vantage Pro weather station was in fact destroyed in the storm so I don't know how much rain I got either. Rainfall estimates from doppler radar had between 8-12 inches total for the area.
I live in Ohio and stayed up for nearly 24 hours watching this... "Winds gusting to 140MPH"... I'd have to do a double take after hearing that on the local forecast. Great Video!
Yep I was glued to the Weather Channel and local coverage...we lost power around the same time but didnt get it back for 23 days!!
the radar just comes out at you like HOLY SHIT THATS BIG
What's really awesome is the duration of the storm--100mph at 6am, still 100mph at noon, decreasing to 70-90mph by 6 pm-that is a long time to endure hurricane force winds!
Ida made landfall along nearly the same track as Katrina, 16 YEARS TO THE DATE yesterday. My heart is breaking
Just imagine you've had a super busy weekend, haven't been keeping track of the weather at all and somehow don't know what's going on, and you sit down to check tomorrow's forecast and see this! LOL!
Because the hurricane was getting closer and the weather was getting worse..the winds at this point were over 50+ mph
During the storm I was worried about my house..but I wasnt scared....I was scared that Sunday morning when it was a category 5 headed for us...thats when i was scared!
Excelent video, I live in Puerto Rico.. hurricanes (huracanes) are part of life...
lost the roof and had a pine tree fall next to my home and a branch from that pine tree went thru a window and knocked the whole window frame and all out of the house...and i lost my car...but compared to some people i was very very fortuante!
Record some footage of the storm for us if you could! I enjoyed your Katrina camera video.
umm I think the missisipi coast had more than "rain squalls" :/
clip 4 of the local on the 8's says gusts up to 150 mph!
Eyewall of Katrina teared through gulfport
I've always been curious to how the local forecast would go when you're expecting a hurricane to strike. I would think the forecast would say "Hurricane Katrina" and that's all you'd have to say, but wow.
Oh that's nice, fair skies the rest of the week
Yeah it didn't rain for almost two weeks after Katrina which really helped recovery efforts, but it was hot as hell so no a/c I was without power for a little over 3 weeks.
I have a uncle that owns a restaurant on the Mississippi gulf coast called the blow fly inn and it was really small then and it got destroyed by hurricane Katrina so the had to build it up stairs where you can go up steps or run up the ramp it is so much better now I have a lot of family that lives on the coast so the restaurant is in Gulfport it has good food
Thumbs up if you think this was the worst hurricane.
James the Dragon I don’t think there is any question that it was the worst in my opinion
Well, in 2017, we had: Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Nate.
2018: Florence and Michael
2019: Dorian
2020: Hanna, Isaias, Laura, Sally, Beta, Delta, Zeta, among others.
Those are just the ones that were really active.
Weather Channel Storm Alert Theme
No I live in Gulfport, MS. the MS Coast had a 30+ foot storm surge...I luckily live about 10 min away from the coast and out of the surge zone about 40-50 ft above sea level so surge wasn't a problem for me personally just the wind damage
narration of increasing to over 100 mph
@TheCanadianPenguin I stayed because I live about 10 miles from the beach in a rural area so the storm surge wasn't a problem also because when u evacuate its a pain in the ass gettin back. I didn't stay at home though my family met up at a hotel off of I-10 and we rode it out there. My house didnt get totaled but it was damaged..I lost my roof a whole window along with the frame was blown out of the wall and my back porch collapsed but it was all repairable.
For those who watch this video. This storm could of made landfall as a 5 but it went through an eye replacement cycle when coming on shore. Michael didn''t.

140 mph?!, wow that's fast winds
I have other clips from earlier in the day that sunday...search Hurricane Katrina local forecast 8/28/05...I have 5 clips one at 6:38am, one at 1:08pm, one at 3:28pm, one at 4:28pm and one at 7:08pm...those are the full local forecasts. Hope that helps!
Overnight: Bands of heavy rain containing strong gusty winds at times. Low 76. ENE winds at 25 to 40 mph, increasing to over 100 mph. Rainfall over two inches.
Monday: Showery rains containing strong gusty winds and heavy downpours at times. High 86. Winds ESE at over 100 mph, becoming SSW and diminishing to 80 to 100 mph. Rainfall over two inches. Wind gusts could reach 140 mph.
Monday Night: Windy with showers. Low 77. Chance of rain 50%.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy skies. Windy. High 91. :D
A met friend of mine at my old station just linked to this in his blog...
I worked for an NBC affiliate at that time and I watched Katrina hit NOLA and Biloxi on an NBC back-haul channel and on a CNN Newssource channel. NBC was feeding the NBC station from Biloxi's off-air signal and CNN was feeding WWL-TV's off-air signal. It was scary just watching it, I couldn't imagine being down there in it! When I wasn't at work, I was watching on TWC.
(continued)
Water damage in one room from the roof but other than that no very lucky...I live in Lyman a few miles north of I-10 in a rural area and have woods behind my house and every tree shrub or bush left standing was defoliated houses I couldnt see before I could see easily because of the defoliated trees. I imagine it was a horrific sight to see just how high the water was...thats good to hear you didnt get any water...I saw plenty of pictures and video from Slidell and Eden Isle of the water damage.
wow ive never seen weather on the eights on twc predict such high speeds. i live in a somewhat windy area where it got at times up to 50 miles per hour but never heard a message saying "gusts up to 140 mph" scary!
Wow, winds of 140 mph "diminishing" to 80 to 100? *faints*
@metsfreak4life im watching the computer models and seeing if the westward shift is a trend..if the next couple of model runs in the next 12 hrs continue to show MS in its path then I think we could have a sigificant hurricane possibly category 3 impact or directly strike the MS coast. Im heading to walmart in the morning just in case to pick up some food and supplies and gas up the car to beat the mass rush if its certain the storm will impact our area.
The fact it was sunny would be huge for the rescue efforts afterward, since rain and wind from thunderstorms would really slow things down.
At this point, Katrina was a Category 4 storm with winds about 145 mph. (It was 125 mph at landfall)
"windy with rain, heavy at times" well thats certainly one way to describe america's 3rd deadliest hurricane
why do i like this music so much
@cpc24:
WWL did an *amazing* job of covering the storm, especially since they *lost* their main studios. I believe they didn't go off the air entirely but had to severely cut-back on their power to conserve energy. From what I understand, WWL's transmitter plant was built high enough to survive not only the storm surge, but also the floods.
@clinds & tarmotanilsoo:
The Weather Channel uses an automated voice, much like "Perfect Paul" on the NOAA Weather Radios.
-A
I noticed at 0:33 that it shows that it isn't raining in Alexandria, but it's raining everywhere else..
Do you have any footage of them covering Katrina On-Air and not Local Forecast?
can you remember if you got any tornado warnings ?
Every year I get older, but this clip of Katrina with 140mph gusts stays the same age
@ashman8717 Northeast 28 mph gusts to 42 mph
Thats sad.Katrina was devastating.
changed my life forever
My family from new orleans had to stay with us here where i am. then we were unlucky cuz we had to leave for Rita! it was a crazy season in 2005
Michael Zepeda I agree! Both 2004 AND 2005 were the WORST Hurricane Seasons!
@yankeesman14 there was rain forecasted for Alexandria..you just can't tell because of the quality of the tape.
i remember it being in the gulf and living in alabama, wondering where it was going to go.
wind gust reaching to over 140mph
with sustain wins from the ese at 100mph
I'm far enough away from the water...I've never evacuated for a hurricane before, and because its hard to get back after the storm.
Although I was in Maryland (and still is), I still remember clearly when Katrina came, but I did wonder what did TWC said about on the location it hit. Nostalgia.
What did TWC say?
@@Dj0287 What were the current conditions in your area at the time of recording that video?
@@robbys5236 temp: 77° humidity: 94% dew point: 75° wind: ENE 25 mph gust 36 mph pressure: 29.30 F conditions: heavy rain
WOW in the begining i call that the magic of the radar
DANG! did u see how big it was on the radar satallite 0:16
Michael Zepeda it’s basically telling people to get the fuck out of the Golf coast! Like goddamn, that storm was huge and catastrophic!
Lol when the automated voice said increasing to >100 mph. We don't hear that up north.
Holy shit, those red and yellow spots in the hurrcane are going extremely fast!
And its usually those embedded cells that can cause tornadoes when a hurricane is coming ashore
yea ur right
@lincolnweather na I live north of Interstate 10 about 10-15 miles north of the coast.
At that time it was TOO LATE TO LEAVE YOUR HOME!
I have a BS in meteorology from Penn State from '96, and I don't think I'll see another storm the magnitude of Katrina (from a distance) in my lifetime. I visited the MS coast in Gulfport in late Oct of '05 and witnessed the damage (that I was allowed to see) first hand. At that time, areas near the coast were not accessible and were guarded by National Guard Posts. I spoke to a lot of people and heard their stories first-hand. In late Oct, folks who lived south of "the tracks" towards the coast knew there were dead bodies still not recovered because of the smell. I went through Hurricane Wilma here in Naples, FL only a week before I volunteered to spend a week in Gulfport with my job. Wilma was nothing for SW FLA compared to the wrath of Katrina.
Wilma was also a weakening hurricane. When it hit Mexico, the eye was then crap. Also it was pulled away by a trough.
Yes. I wasn't in Sandy but I got the outer cloud bands from Sandy (Chicagoland area to where i was). Seen the edge of the band on sunset. Looked awesome.
@@99wolvesracing17I was hit by Sandy in 2012. I had 60-80 mph wind gusts and a couple inches of rain. I lost power for 72 hours from Sandy. School was closed for a week.
Your house might've been destroyed, but at least you didn't lose your life. I bet you prayed to God that day. I would too if I was in your position. Without the Weather Channel, you might've not made it out... God Bless You, and I hope you have a very happy life.
I know this comment is 8 Years Old, but I must tell you something. DJ stopped uploading in 2011 because he cancelled his Cable and switched to DirecTV. Plus, he got promoted and became a General Manager at a Walmart. That meant the hours and responsibilities got longer. He told me.
Wow awesome job with taping these forecasts just curious did your area get Weatherscan back than
Thanks...no my cable company didn't have Weatherscan
@@Dj0287 awesome (: do u still have these tapes (:
@@BrandonJamesr94 I do still have them
140 mph wind gusts? It would be cool to see that in person on TWC, but then again, maybe not...
Can't believe it's Been 6 years. Seeing this brings back the several emotions i was experiencing. While this was going on, I was in a hotel in Metairie, Louisiana wondering if I was going to live!!! I feel very fortunate that I made it through safely. Hopefully this depression will only bring much needed rain in LA ad nothing more!
wow 9 year old comment
@@justinw-bs7053 When you reply to a decade old comment
@@thatrideboisecret9873 same
wonder if the OP will respond
If youjust think of size alone with that system, if the eye was parked over Sacramento, California, the width of it would take it to eastern Utah/western Colorado and north/south it would reach to southern Washington on the north and to the tip of Baja on the south
what are your thoughts on Isaac as it poses a potential threat to the MS coast?
Did you live in New Orleans below sea level?? If not, how far above sea level were you????
Truly a very sad time in history.
Indeed it was.
True
Wow, that hurricane rotates fast...
The rotation was like race cars on the Daytona 500. The sound from the wind was extremely loud 150mph for 10 hours straight
This is funny shit, when you see your local forecast: "for tonight winds over 100 mph". I've been through this a number of times in fLorida, it never gets old.
When did the power come back on?
SCARY !
2020 hurricane season could surpass 2005. Already have 9th named storm before end of July and current invest 95L could be Josephine. Watch what happens after August 20 through October. Potential for many major hurricanes this year. Could be more than 7 major hurricanes. This is setup for 2005 ingredient. 30 named storms at max since May is my guess, 24 at minimum.
Yep, it's definitely looking like this year will surpass 2005. Hurricane Laura will be the worst storm to hit LA since Katrina.
@@ryangr9833 Last name about to form Sept 17. Greek storms before October very likely.
Guess what? 2020 has beaten the record of named storms in 2005!
@@mikeyg.thecnanddisneyfan9069 yep. I called it. Concerned about 2021 hurricane season. Have to see how Winter and Spring goes. Could have more intense than 2020. Especially start of season begins with Moderate La Nina and then end the season with Neutral. 2020 started off with Neutral year and then end with moderate La Nina. Possibly even worse than this year. I hope I'm wrong. It is too early for me to predict how many named storms for 2021 will form.
@@mikeyg.thecnanddisneyfan9069yup. 30 named storms in the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. That beat 2005, which had 28 named storms.
i have never seen anything like this on the local on the 8's before
"expect fair skies tuesday through thursday"
notsoniceguy2 they were really trying to calm down those people who were riding out this storm!
Welp. I was affected by Michael last month. It’s always the M storms that cause complete devastation.
And this year it was Dorian in the northern Bahamas. Those northern-most islands (including Freeport on the west side of Grand Bahama) were totally destroyed between the wind and surge
It's mainly the Female-Named Storms that cause the death and destruction. This year we had Laura, and it was a MONSTER Storm!
Scary, perhaps, but accurate.
Wow! rain squalls, 83 and some sun. with winds of only 93 mph. I woulda ran like crazy. Worst storm ever
hurricane gustav did more damage to my house than katrina lol
(talking to you from the northshore of lake pontchartrain)
chance of rain 50%? ummmmmmmmmmmm
this is one historic local on the 8s
This was the last local on the 8s I recorded before the power went out for good about an hour later. I wouldn't get power back on for almost 3 weeks.
@@Dj0287this could possibly be the last ever local forecast on video. the final moments of somewhat normalcy....grateful you made it out to tell the tale 🙏
@Dj0287 How did you get through Katrina?
@Dj0287 Sorry about that. Out of all the storms you've experienced, which one was the worst for you?
The hurricane hit Monday morning..if you read it again, Monday doesn't have a precip chance...Monday night is when the hurricane was pulling away.
sustained at 46 mph gusting to 62 mph...power went out shortly after this was recorded.
this season will be lucky to get more than 3 tropical storms (my prediction)
LOL Yeah but that wasn't likely the local weather people around here were screaming about Katrina all weekend everybody knew about it and it was a ghost town around here Sunday evening!
@lincolnweather no sure don't...thankfully.
notice by the Hurricane Local Statement it says, Direct Strike of Potentially Catastrophic and Life Threatening Hurricane expected. How Ominous is that?!
@Dj0287 Ouch! Well, I hope this season is not as bad as the predictions are forecasting...but since El Nino is weakening right now, that is not good.
Actually at this point it had winds of 155 mph.
77°
