"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
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🤣
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!
That local on the 8s voice really should have been saying "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW!!!"
It was too late already. So even if it did, it wouldn’t matter
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.
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.
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!
"...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 :)"
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.
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!
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
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!!
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!
the radar just comes out at you like HOLY SHIT THATS BIG
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!
Excelent video, I live in Puerto Rico.. hurricanes (huracanes) are part of life...
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.
Because the hurricane was getting closer and the weather was getting worse..the winds at this point were over 50+ mph
Record some footage of the storm for us if you could! I enjoyed your Katrina camera video.
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!
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!
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.
Every year I get older, but this clip of Katrina with 140mph gusts stays the same age
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)
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.
Do you have any footage of them covering Katrina On-Air and not Local Forecast?
Did you live in New Orleans below sea level?? If not, how far above sea level were you????
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
umm I think the missisipi coast had more than "rain squalls" :/
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
Eyewall of Katrina teared through gulfport
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
I noticed at 0:33 that it shows that it isn't raining in Alexandria, but it's raining everywhere else..
can you remember if you got any tornado warnings ?
clip 4 of the local on the 8's says gusts up to 150 mph!
what are your thoughts on Isaac as it poses a potential threat to the MS coast?
@Dj0287 How did you get through Katrina?
3650 days ago
narration of increasing to over 100 mph
The fact it was sunny would be huge for the rescue efforts afterward, since rain and wind from thunderstorms would really slow things down.
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.
@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.
At this point, Katrina was a Category 4 storm with winds about 145 mph. (It was 125 mph at landfall)
140 mph?!, wow that's fast winds
Ida made landfall along nearly the same track as Katrina, 16 YEARS TO THE DATE yesterday. My heart is breaking
When did the power come back on?
@Dj0287 Sorry about that. Out of all the storms you've experienced, which one was the worst for you?
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!
How is it that you are about to go through a major hurricane and the chance of rain is only 50%??
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 🙏
Not exactly your normal local forecast narrations. So odd hearing that on the local on the 8's.
No unfortunetly i hit the record button to late for this local on the 8s...what you see is what you get...the other local on the 8s i mentioned above are the whole local forecast.
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
@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
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
Wow, winds of 140 mph "diminishing" to 80 to 100? *faints*
Weather Channel Storm Alert Theme
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
"windy with rain, heavy at times" well thats certainly one way to describe america's 3rd deadliest hurricane
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!
@ashman8717 Northeast 28 mph gusts to 42 mph
sustained at 46 mph gusting to 62 mph...power went out shortly after this was recorded.
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.
notice by the Hurricane Local Statement it says, Direct Strike of Potentially Catastrophic and Life Threatening Hurricane expected. How Ominous is that?!
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.
@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.
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.
how would i download this music/
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
changed my life forever
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.
@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.
wind gust reaching to over 140mph
with sustain wins from the ese at 100mph
@lincolnweather na I live north of Interstate 10 about 10-15 miles north of the coast.
why do i like this music so much
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.
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!
@lincolnweather no sure don't...thankfully.
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
140 mph wind gusts? It would be cool to see that in person on TWC, but then again, maybe not...
i have never seen anything like this on the local on the 8's before
what are rain squals? that's what it said for the forecast
Sirbrickrocks TH-campoops rain squalls are very heavy rainfalls that produce sudden violent gusts of wind that could cause damage and last for a short amount of time.
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!
At that time it was TOO LATE TO LEAVE YOUR HOME!
WOW in the begining i call that the magic of the radar
Truly a very sad time in history.
Indeed it was.
True
Thats sad.Katrina was devastating.
I wish it would have rained after, I swear it seemed like we never got rain for at least a month after, I rember not falling asleep outside till almost midnight because it was so hot. That reminds me of how many stars we could see because there were no lights anywhere, you could see millions i would just lay there on the matress in the driveway looking at them
Bobby S I'm so sorry to hear about that! That must've been SUPER Miserable!
I guess that storm was a month full of rain, lol! But it’s good to have no rain after a catastrophic storm which caused major flooding in the impacted areas as rain could make flooding even worse, making it harder for military troops and national guards to rescue those in needs of assistance, and the residents of the Gulf Coast region to travel.
Lol when the automated voice said increasing to >100 mph. We don't hear that up north.
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.
Thanks Fritter!! Yeah basically that whole weekend goin into the monday the storm hit I didnt sleep very much at all watching this storm even when it was hitting South Florida...oh and if you find my other Katrina clips the narrator says winds gusting to 150 mph..when I heard 150 mph that Sunday afternoon I had to do a double take also!!! thanks again for the comment
what song is this???
The name of the song is, “Eye of the Storm” by Stephen Arnold.
How worried are you about Ida?
Not to worried... We're only under a tropical storm warning not a hurricane warning so I doubt we'll see hurricane force wind gusts. Ida will probably have less impacts for us than Zeta did.
@@Dj0287 Ida's East Quadrant is gonna get you, so look out!
BTW, The names "Dorian" and "Laura" have been retired, therefore "Dexter" and "Leah" will take their places. Plus the Greek Names have been withdrawn from use, and Auxillary Names will be used instead.
@@Dj0287 the remnants of Ida hit my area here in Pennsylvania on Sep 1, 2021. It was crazy seeing many Tornado Warnings (even a Tornado Emergency) not too far south of me. I had major flooding from Ida with 8-12 inches of rain throughout my area. My community college campuses closed for two days after Ida.
this season will be lucky to get more than 3 tropical storms (my prediction)
hurricane gustav did more damage to my house than katrina lol
(talking to you from the northshore of lake pontchartrain)
@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.
Why did the Power went out?
Funny how you say it XD
yea ur right
