Reacting a few hours too late was 100 percent correct

I bet u no1 thought how bad things would be 5 YEARS LATER!!! Still, houses in New Orleans have been UNTOUCHED since the strom!!!!!!

Wake up and smell the coffee!

i remember evacuating from biloxi it took 6 hours to get from mobile to montgomery on I-65

I live in southeast Louisiana and I remember being so terrified when it hit 175.....and i tell ya, as horrible as Katrina WAS...thank god it didnt stay at 175...becuz the Cat 5 surge was devastating enough..if we had gotten winds that extreme........MAN

[mostradicalmanever]

Katrina also hit Florida. Does anyone remember that?

[Dj0287]

Uhh yeah if u check the rest of my pages I have coverage of when Katrina hit South Florida as a category 1.

[archelleta]

nope...new orleans overshadowed everything...what about gulfport, we got the wind!!!

[VercittiGangBoy]

I remember that, I also remember Cantorie saying "this is the worst category 1 hurricane i've been through"

after I heard that, i got concerned about Katrina, and look what happened

@VercittiGangBoy You should of been in New York, i was scared as SHIT.My brother thaught it was still a hurricane when it hit us.

[MegaBrokenstar]

@nanzee403 It was still a TD. Here in Ohio, my friends who already lived here back then (I moved here later) remember the power going out and school closing for 3-7 hurricane days because it hit as a Tropical Storm. winds 45-60 MPH.

:29 This storm followed the exact same path that they predicted it would. Good job TWC!

[Yutzwagon404]

Everywhere else in the nation was calm weatherwise

I think it was at this point when I evacuated from the South East tip of La which is below New Orleans, that was cutting it close.
