Remembering Katrina
Sgt.Rocknroll:
Don't know if this is the right place for this. It can be moved if necessary.
Found this old video I took back in 2005...
For your info....
micjer:
That must have been living through hell.
Thanks for sharing this vid.
My wife and I had a tour of New Orleans in 2008, and to see the damage and to hear the stories was incredible. Seeing the houses with the x's on the front indicating whether anyone one was found dead in them was an eye opener. Seeing the houses where people had used axes to get up on their roofs to survive was shocking.
Sgt.Rocknroll:
It wasn't fun but at least we know now how woefully unprepared government was. Total failure from power/services police presence just to name a few.
New Orleans was fine after Katrina. It was the poorly maintained leavees that failed that caused all the damage. New Oreleans was missed by the brunt of Katrina. It came on land in Plaquemies parish and then crossed over to St. Bernard parish. New Orleans got all the publicity because of the flooding.
micjer:
I would agree totally. The damage I saw was not from wind. It was all from flooding.
The parishes where the levies did not breach were fine.
The Seeker:
Not to mention Mobile Bay and that area got hammered also; let us hope that never happens again
