ARCHIVES: [VHS] Hurricane Katrina 2005 News Media Coverage (105 Min.)

Could CNN’s “Katrina Theme” music be any more PTSD inducing??

I adore Rob Marciano too.

Sure, Katrina was downgraded to a 3 before hitting NO. Didn’t really lower the storm surge very much, did it??

I've lived in the Cajun Bayous all my life and when they say go I go even before they say get out of town, there is plenty of help to move you to a safe place I don't understand why you stay...

If I’m able to evaluate a particular state because danger is near (I’m talking about in any dangerous situation) I wouldn’t think twice about it. That’s why it’s best to be independent & not depend on others because they can be your death trap later on all because they were too stubborn or didn’t think something dangerous or bad would happen

That clown Sodalia on CNN kept saying the whole time trying to contradict the meteorologist how that it turned a tad bit east so that meant NEW Orleans would be better. She kept saying that from 730a.m to 830a.m EST . The weather dudes kept saying no that's not the case. Hope she was humbled by this

St.bernard had higher water then new Orleans... Now lake view had very high water up till 11 feet... In Chalmette close to Arabi had 16 -20 freaking ft

The news reporters saying "ppl that didnt evacuate"....to where??? Your house? 🤔i would be in the same boat(no pun intended) now in 2023....

My first year in college and for the first time in my life I could not stop watching the news. This was insane. Great video 👍👍

Camille hit Mississippi with 234 mph winds .
The top winds of Katrina in New Orleans was no more than 100 mph . Don't listen to these news reporters who love to exaggerate . Katrina was a man made disaster in New Orleans . Mississippi felt the real fury of Katrina .

The day before Katrina hit, I woke up at 3:30 am, woke up the rest of my family, and we quickly piled into the car and left. We knew it would take 10-12 hours to get to Shreveport with all the traffic, a drive that usually takes 5. After we got to our cousins’ house in Shreveport my parents ensured my brother and I that we would return in a week or two. I distinctly remembered watching news coverage about a week later, seeing my neighborhood still under water, and realizing that it would be much longer than just a week or two before we could return. I was 9

thanks for sharing this

Hurricane Ida Hammered and Pounded Mississippi and Louisiana on the 16th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina which is today

I remembered when this happened 16 years ago. I was 12 years old and now here I am 28 years old and getting ready to watch hurricane ida make landfall as a strong category four hurricane in almost the same exact location on the 16th anniversary of hurricane Katrina making landfall. It's like history is repeating itself.

Amazing footage 👏 sadly I believe that we have somehow traveled back in time with another monster is going to strike New Orleans again, and I fear 😨 the worse.

Wow I remember watching this my senior year of HS and going to school late the next two days was in shock the whole time

reliving this is just terrifying. katrina took our home away. i remember seeing our couch down the street and our livingroom tv all the way in the driveway. someome we knew died while lived down the street from us cause he didn’t think it would be bad so he stayed home and died

Remember going to bed watching the news and small flooding. Woke up and the news was just heartbreaking to see what damage was done while we slept peacefully in Pennsylvania.

Someone pissed off the boss...

Ground zero was Pearlington, Mississippi.

Thank you! I am a resident of the gulf coast and evacuated for Katrina to Florida. Where we were actually lost power and we never had a chance to watch ANY news footage. I looked for footage like this before and had trouble finding it, so I’m glad I found your upload today.

Thanks for posting. As news coverage like this will never have an official release or syndication reruns.

If people evacuated then they would have been fine.

I was over at my cousin’s house during this storm. Out in Lakeland Louisiana. I was 17, he was 15. We were running around in the field next to his house, we basically were running around sideways the wind was so strong. My girlfriend at the time’s grandmother was absolutely destroyed. Her house had 3 trees fall on it.

I am truly sorry about what happened in New Orleans, but the majority of what occurred there was man made. The levees failed and what happened was catastrophic, but the worst of the storm moved into coastal Mississippi. I rode her out in Pass Christian. Where I worked then on Bay Saint Louis there were cranes that were thirty feet off the ground and they got three feet of water in them. That's a three story tidal surge. We should have received more media coverage is all I'm saying. It was an event that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy and I pray to God that I NEVER see anything like that again. I hope it was a once in a lifetime catastrophe...

i live in new orleans through this .dont ever want to experience a hurricane so i moved to maine

I put up with Stranded Stuck Harvey 2017
Rained nonstop for 5/6 Days.

I'm here in 2020 during the pandemic because hurricane Laura category 4 is about to hit Louisiana soon and Katrina was a category three, so I don't know good luck to those people and our IP for the Future souls, put your drinks in the air and say to the lost,

I had left the evening before. Around mid night or so I saw that jog to the east and knew the west bank would be okay. Came back as the eye wall was passing just south east of my home. First storm I had ever left for. First one I remember was Hurricane Betsy which really made a mess out of New Orleans and cause flooding. Mississippi got hammered really bad for Betsy and then a few years later Hurricane Camille.

Yea that was definitely not Biloxi. That is St. Martin/Ocean Springs exit 50 north of I-10...Biloxi is like five miles away from that hotel!

Katrina was crazy terrible storm. I live just northeast of Biloxi,Ms. and EVERYTHING was devastated in South Ms. that hardly received any news coverage. I was here in Hurricane Fredrick in 79’ and this was much worse!

I would get a Plane or if I could not I would get a hammer or something and run to the attic. I’m it fills with water I would break the roof and try my best to survive

if Katrina didn’t hit we could’ve still had six flags , and we would’ve still had the people who lost there lives in katrina , thanks katrina you’re the reason New Orleans is so boring thanks a lot ☹️

As Dorian bashes the Bahamas. Katrina is one that i will never forget. I live in South Carolina and followed this storms coverage.

All Trump fault

It was heading to Hattiesburg when my parents but i was not born in 2007

once the store looses electric and gets any flood water they can not sell the food. Taking food or water to survive is not looting. Looting is taking TV sets or things like that.

Being from new Orleans this is wild to watch. We evacuated luckily.

American outside broadcasters are both crazy and stupid in equal measure, what on Earth possesses them to stay outside, virtually unable to stand, and in real danger of serious injury. Surly, and. In my opinion, when people see newscasters standing outside they get the insane idea that if it’s safe for newscasters it’s safe for everyone, and when the studio lady said they needed a bit of common sense, I nearly fell of my chair, talk about hypocrisy. Those broadcasters should take a hard look at the way they behave before criticising others, or is it just a case of “don’t do as I do, do as I say” , and just one small point, how did the studio broadcaster know that the people she said needed to get some common sense had come out of a building, perhaps they were homeless people, or maybe trying to get to safety.

I remember playing True Crime L.A when this all went down.

I remember like it was yesterday
