NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE warning

[Categorycinque]

This was a warning issued to the entire Gulf Coast. However, this is a Nat'l Geographic Documentary and it is powerful.

I remember watching this on tv..I cried..They showed my lifeless grand mother on tv D';

[DanceLoversx]

I used this in a school project thanks so much ....

[skyman2002fanclub]

[imwatching22]

Epic wall fail

[KarliiKickbackxD]

an "apocalyptic advisory" ?..........suicidal? Lol, wtf?

[elaztica]

@KarliiKickbackxD LOL! What if they actually issued one?

[littlechick500]

An Apocalyptic advisory!!

[shannonlovesjay]

i cracked up at the word failure

[Jon13bur]

I just now read the report. I don't know about anyone else, but if I lived in Louisiana, I would have been one of the first to get my ass out of the crosshairs.

I don't know why anybody would stay.

[WeatherFreak22]

I don't wanna sound rude at all but honestly it makes me mad how they always talk about New Orleans when it comes to Katrinas damage. Don't get me wrong because New Orleans was damaged REALLY bad by the storm. But the Mississippi gulf coast was COMPLETLY wiped out, nothing was left standing for miles and miles! If Katrina hadn't broke the levee New Olreans would have been alright. The Mississippi coast wouldn't. I'm just saying this because I lived in Bay St. Louis and lost everything & family.

@WeatherFreak22 Bless you. I'm sorry for your loss.

[tayjay4]

everything i am about to tell u is 100% true.

my name is taylor and i am 12 years old. i was 8 when katrina hit. i lived in chalmette

a.k.a. the lower 9th ward, louisiana my whole life. when my family seen the warnings for the hurricane, we all dicited to go to my aunts 2- story house with a basement only 2 minutes away. when the storm hit around 2 a.m., everyone woke up.

[tayjay4]

it was very wind and it was rain kinda hard. the electricity was out and it was pitch black @ night. it was scary at first but then it was kinda fun. i watched stuff fly up and down the street and somne windows break but that was it. when it passed, we went outside and helped my aunts neighbors get out there house. there door had gotten jammed during the storm. the storm was nothing. absolutly nothing... then the city blew up part of the levee, and everything changed.

[loiderman]

wheres the rest of the waring

[Jon13bur]

@loiderman You can find the warning at Wikipedia.

[WinterWeatherII]

This is why I find it funny when people say "the weather guys are never right" or "it won't affect me, because the last one didn't"

[ATheGreat09]

I can't imagine listening to this exact warning on the weather radio. Fucking scary.

[danagasta1]

I have a copy of this warning from the AP. I almost passed out reading it--and I'm in Connecticut

[creq342]

i have only been through 2 hurricanes in my life 1.hurricane juan 2.hurricane kyle both in halifax nova scotia they were fun to be in though! :)

[coolcatevan9]

ive been though a category 5,scary stuff...

[AmethystCherokee]

FEMA basically threw gas on the fire, the way I see it. They made a Cat 3 chimpout into a Cat 5.

If I were living in NOLA, had no car, and had a Cat 5 hurricane headed my way, I'd pack up a few things in a backpack and hoof it out of town!

[coolcatevan9]

*claps*FINALLY,somone smart

[SanFran90]

@nightoftheshapes: Geez, man. Hateful much :-/?

[coolcatevan9]

I agreee,But I have nothinga gaisnt blacks

[zetsu3772]

if hurricanes evolve into playing the song 'rock you like a huuricane' by the scropions, i wouldn't leave, just wave a lighter in the air and cry for being a jacka**!

[ThunderstormMan123]

Wow, very scary. I have never been through a hurricane before. Does anyone have an EAS or have Weather Radio coverage from Hurricane Katrina?

[piecollectors]

i go on that site alot and those are some SERIOUS WARNINGS i wouldn't die if i was there bcuz i wouldve died of fear already JK but i would be VERY VERY VERY scared

[yuckysword]

the interesting thing is that i remember SEVERAL warnings like this on the news as the storm approached, yet i also remember news cameras showing people dancing and shit on the roof like it was some sort of party. those were probably some of the idiots that stayed and drowned. i bet people don't try that shit again...

[Alexandra22773]

Darwin Award nominees.

[tpn14]

...You will all die if you don't get the f**k out of here...

[StigelRULES]

That's gotta suck. Does anyone have the actual EAS clip?

[toonheaded1]

i hope the end of the world is not near

[kbrtiger22]

I live in SE Louisiana. I'll never forget the feeling when these warnings were issued and we saw the satellite pictures. It felt like looking down a cannon. We knew what was coming. Everyone was horrified because this was the big one, not just for NOLA but for all of us. Hope to never see it again or hear this type of warning again so long as I live. The part I really remember is about the livestock. Frightening if the cattle will die.

[martincruz1988]

i have never heard an apocalyptic advisory. frightening....

[snowboarder5665]

this is actually very interesting. the forecaster who issued this, Robert Ricks, a meteorologist with the New Orleans/Baton Rouge NWS office, predicted this nearly a day ahead of time. he stated "MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE UNINHABITABLE FOR WEEKS...PERHAPS LONGER. AT LEAST ONE HALF OF WELL CONSTRUCTED HOMES WILL HAVE ROOF AND WALL FAILURE. ALL GABLED ROOFS WILL FAIL...LEAVING THOSE HOMES SEVERELY DAMAGED OR DESTROYED."

[webkinzlover93ify1]

[bilalahmed2123]
