We lived through all of this....... I vowed to my husband if we survived, I’d never stay through anything worse than A Tropical Depression WE ARE LEAVING for any place outside of the strike son. (There are not adequate words to describe the fear of feeling extreme guilt when you realize that your children MAY die as A result of your own failure to secure A safe place to go............ when it was reported to be A CAT 4/5 on Saturday we frantically tried to secure hotel rooms any where as Far East as ATL, or as north as Memphis, TN.) Hubby said we’d be worse off stranded on the highway in vehicles than in the house. Gulfport MS was completely devastated...... when I say it looked like the entire Gulf Coast region had been repeatedly bombed. I remember sitting under our dinning room table with our 9 year old Rottweiler crying/praying as our rental home was being blown apart. It was literally A blessing that half of the house was not damaged. PTSD is still A major issue for me.
This is literally the only thing I can think about as Vivian goes over the first 7-day forecast, how buoyant and...normal she sounds. I'm not very far in at the moment, but I can only imagine how their tones will soon be changing. I was only 17 at the time, and whatever news coverage I may have seen I've forgotten, other than the stronger images and stories that came after the storm, so it's going to be...something to see the tones and expressions and stories begin to change.

And of course at 3:07:15, the Tornado Warning was basically the Extreme Wind Warning that the NWS uses nowadays.
Thank you for posting this. I’m doing my first term paper as a Junior in HS on Katrina and listening to this as I work

awesome video. If you have it, please, upload the rebroadcasts of Hurricane Rita
Rita was brutal and forgotten. Louisiana took a beating in 2005.
Laura was worse.
Houston needs a storm like this Katrina ya
Thank you for this!
I was 5 years old when it struck Between Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
