Katrina NW EyeWall

[ParallaxFilm]

Tense!

[sandhilldiva]

jones co. was the hardest hit inland county we had alot of tornadoes

[ThaNsaneOne]

he uploaded the video on the same day last year he filmed it lol

[phatchase]

wooo thats crazy i wonder if he knew he did that.

[seafan86]

eyewall, how about outer band

[billbrasky110]

I was in Hattiesburg during this one. 60 miles straight north of Gulfport. The eye came right over Hattiesburg and caused more damage than this. Not downplaying the severity but Hattiesburg got alot worse. I have been through many many hurricanes and the only one I was actually scared in was Katrina. Never will I be scared of a storm again after that one.

[phatchase]

i used to live in Hattiesburg! in Cane Break!

[temanatahiti]

I'd like to see when the other side of the hurricane struck again...then it must have been bed...

[carpeto2002]

no sirve

[cairnsguy22]

what subdivision is this in? Arrow wood? or Southwind? I was living on Cutter Pl at the time, we had all but 2 of our trees go down on our property, one of which came through our upstairs guest bedroom lol. Not an amusing situation to say the least.

[Boonesj22]

to all the know it alls out there they eye is the calmest part of the storm.. so yes it could of easily been the eye of the storm.. I have walked outside during Frances in Jean hurricans in florida ....

[KaySkywalker]

Are you sure it wasn't the outter stretch of the hurricane? I thought the eye was more like a calm blue day? Followed by the wall of destruction. Did the storm get worst or better? Just curious.

[mikespankinurdumbass]

That was the eye wall of Katrina?.. Yeah right, that could have been a regular rainy day anywhere. The wall of a hurricane's eye is the deadliest part of the hurricane. It ain't this shit.

[wandrwiz]

Well my aptly named friend, if you would of pulled out a map, you would of seen that my little hamlet was in the NW quadrant of the storm, so therefore the force of the storm was not as powerful. I live 18 miles west from Slidell, where the center of the storm came ashore in the Waveland-Slidell area. The NE quadrant of the storm has the most damage causing winds. According to our emergency director, our area suffered over 1000 tornados during that 24 hours period.

[mikespankinurdumbass]

I guess.

[coldflames34]

1000 tornadoes is sort of over doing it dont u think???? since the record is about 123 and most of new orleans would have been leveled by all of them

[wandrwiz]

Well Beulah(1967)spawned 141 tornadoes. 3 distinct paths are still visible within a half mile of my home. The "1000 tornadoes" figure comes from listening to the radio after the storm and I heard the emergency dir. report that there were 1K tornadoes.I am assuming he meant the ones that swirl inside the storm. If there was tornadic formations without a touchdown, maybe the radar was picking up those possibles. Didn't mean to imply that there were 1K tornadoes that touched the grnd. That's dumb.

[Cakerolled]

@coldflames34

Over 9000 tornados and they're all raping your children

[dacch100]

@Cakerolled can be a comment more gross than this

[extremeweatherguy]

I can assure you that your area did not suffer 1000 tornados during a 24 hour period. In fact, there were only around 62 confirmed tornadoes during the ENTIRE life-span of Katrina. Now sure, I will admit that there were probably a few more tornadoes that were never confirmed or documented, but 1000 is definitely WAY overdoing it.

[cairnsguy22]

clearly you've never experienced a hurricane....

[dsmcclellan]

Yep, aptly named he is. Probably would be curled up on the floor with a blanket and a Xanax if a hurricane actually hit his neighborhood.

[CPTMarine]

hey i know how u feel i was there.

[crowamonghens]

i was in georges when i lived in gulfport, i can't even imagine this. last plase i'd want to be is near a window, regardless of the direction it's facing.

[wandrwiz]

One moment in particular haunts me. We listened to the radio as a young mother tried to calm her baby, begging for someone to rescue them from her attic, her cell phone goes dead as water goes over her roof. I just couldn't imagine the horror she must of been going through.

[TeIlEm]

you get alot of respect coming from me. whats the biggest thing that happened to you there?

[wandrwiz]

A tornado hit the house behind me and skipped over my house and hit the trees straight ahead. No injuries though. As for me, my business took a blow,losing half my business in the following months.I guess the biggest loss is the fact the area you loved and remember growing up in,mainly New Orleans, has been changed forever.Gone are places that held fond memories from my childhood, dating and life in general. That happens in a person's lifetime but it happened within hours during Katrina.

[bikerdude97]

wow there was so much damaged caused to New Orleans. One time I was watching the new and they said that everyone went into where the hornets playes

[wandrwiz]

Well close. It was next door at the Superdome where the NFL's New Orleans Saints play.

[DylanNova]

DUMBASS Why'd you stay there?

i'da been gone before you cud say 7

LOL

[wandrwiz]

I guess it is cool for 14 year olds to call people dumbasses these days. Sad.

[ohitsjudas]

Just a word or two explanation for our young, disrepectful, ADHD, mildly retarded friend Dylan. When you live in a hurricane zone, storm surge is what you generally run from. In the beautiful town of Abita Springs, trees posed the only threat. Because the direction of the wind was so predictable, you could base your decision to stay or go on which direction the trees would fall in relation to your house. Pay better attention in science class, ou yea and spelling and reading class as well.

[wandrwiz]

Your explanation was in my mind in that I felt the wind direction was going to be coming from a direction that would not effect any tree to a degree that it would fall onto my house.I didn't count on the massive amount of rain that softened the soil and caused a tree that was 60 feet from my house and 65 feet tall to fall and hit my rear porch roof. I eyeballed the tree and figured I was far enough away to avoid any major calamity. Wrong.

[terminusest0]

DylanNova, guys like this may have to do this as work!

this could be a storm chaser that knows when to get safety
