stop thinking irene is gonna be this bad, Katrina was a category 4...Irene was a 2 and atm is now a category 1 hurricane....its gonna be fast winds and a shit load of rain get over it shit happens, just not usually to the northeast coast
THIS LOOKS SO COOL! I CAN'T WAIT FOR HURRICANE IRENE TO HIT MARYLAND :D I'M GONNA BE HAVING A SLIP N' SLIDE PARTY IN THE STREETS, IT WILL BE SO AWESOME AND THERE WILL BE NO SCHOOL :DDDDDD
@liln44 Actually, it seems like you're very ignorant.. 'More educated than a stupid man in the deep dirty south.'? Whether you agree or not, he is making good reasons on why you should just shut up about New Orleans and get back to your life.
this doesnt normally happen with hurricanes just terrible wind that may lead to tornados. the reason why this did happen is because that place is below sea level
If you are a truth seeker, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says. Everyone needs to see this. The Present will turn this world right-side up if it reaches enough people. You will see what I mean when you read the first page.
The unthinkable happened to a city surrounded by multiple bodies of water including the Mississippi River, Lake Poncatrain, and the Gulf of Mexico. Dummy you do have to worry about the water. That Led Zeppelin song "When The Levees Break" gives me the creeps.
I live In New Orleans, and when Katrina hit I lost everything, even some family. But now my life is back together. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones<3
Hurricane ----Causes----> Tsunami [ a maybe ] ----Causes----> Town to be friggin wet ---Causes----> A little month or years later EARTHQUAKE . Its like almost the nature incidents happening again like a life cycle . ==
Guess many of you weren't aware that they shut down the New Orleans Airport, Amtrak and Greyhound PRIOR to the evacuation. Many of us could not get out, whereas Australia during Cyclone Yasi increased the flights out of the area during the evacuation. In spite of this evacuation experts consider the 85-90% who did get out well above average for such disasters.

anyone who died in katrina was a moron or looter, all you had to do was drain enough drinking water for 10 days, stock up with a bit of grub, let dry and clean up, simple. At least it thinned the criminals out a bit.
The apostle Paul warned: "But know this, that in the last days PERILOUS TIMES will come... Evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse" (2 Timothy 3:1, 13). Jesus Christ plainly stated that lawlessness would abound at the time of the end, preceding His second coming (Matthew 24:8-12). He added, "As the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be" (verse 37).
What was it like during the time before the great Flood of Genesis? (Genesis 6:5, 11-12). What about today?
Okay anyone who continuously has to rebuild their home and life because hurricanes destroy everything have ever few years.. you're a fucking idiot. I don't want to hear you bitch, moan, cry, whine or complain. Own up to your stupidity. I wouldn't give a dime to those who willingly put themselves in those situations.
I was 9 and I was on holidays when we were in the hotel turned on the tv weather was on then hurricane katrina we got in the car an tried to escape but for some reason the car was slowing down we ran for it we then got a lift outside of the area. The next we went back then same thing but no way out it was crazy havnt been since
@omaghlad100 Did you not take them seriously when the Governors of both LA and MS and President Bush were on the radio and TV telling people that the evacuation was madatory and explaining that this storm could very well be the "Big One" that Louisianians have expected to take NOLA away for years? Or did you all somehow miss that? Just curious, because I lived in Louisiana at that time and clearly remember the apocalyptic warnings and madatory evacuation orders.
As a San Diego tourist who was stuck in the Superdome I appreciate seeing some of this original footage that I was never able to see. I do hope people realize that the vast majority of death and destruction in the city of New Orleans was caused by the Army Corps of Engineers' shoddy levees, as well as the incredibly slow response by the Feds. Maybe we've learned a bit since then.

@PaulHarris3 Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. Many deaths were natural, some were from overdoses, hospital power failures, suicides, etc. Don't let those pesky facts get in the way of you trying to make money off it with your ridiculous book though! You really swallowed the anti government nonsense hook line and sinker. Low iq twit.
@kimberlymarie21990 Very true, this was very sad.......maybe it has a big crime issue, but so does almost anyplace you go, if you look. The people of LA and NY do not wish for an apocalypse. Just because the movies seem to picture that, doesn't make it true. Do you really think anyone who is sane would? To wish this sort of devastation on anyone is wrong. Shame on you.
@TheVikingwolf LOL If you think New Orleans crime is comparable to "almost anyplace else you might go", then you haven't spent much time in NOLA. Believe me, the dangers there are far superior to "almost anyplace you might go. Barring, say, Detroit or Beirut.
So sad... New Orleans is a beautiful historic city. It's full of crackheads and crazies though. Too bad this didn't happen in LA or better yet NY because they seem to fantasize of the apocalypse coming to their special most important city.
@iLuvBarRefaeli We aren't moving an inch. New Orleans is our home. Nobody can take that away from us. Not even a catagory 5 hurricane. This city is our life. I'd rather die than live elsewhere.
@carowhoree I wasn't suggesting you move, I was just stating that its incredibly stupid to have a city situated in an area under sea level and on top of that in an area that is known for devestating hurricanes. Personally I dont understand how people could live there, build their lives have a home, etc not knowing if in a matter of months its all going to be swept away...literally.
@04poptart04 Im not trying to be insensitive or hurt anyones feelings, im just speaking from a logical sense, that the people in this area knew the risks of living in this area and something this katrina is something very possible. It was very sad, just like how millions of Japanese are going through similar devestation, not only did they lose 1 city they lost hundreds of towns and villages.
@SiAScORCH Hold on a sec, are you saying that me saying what happened in Japan is worse is ignorant of me, well it is worse many more people lost their lives, along with flooding and exteme devestation to not one city but hundreds of towns and villages, along with an earthquake destroying the infastructure and on top of that deadly radiation, get over yourself Katrina was a long time ago, stop trying to make people feel sorry for you, and about blowing myself, your mom takes care of that.
@iLuvBarRefaeli You come on one natural disaster and say something like oh this isn't jack compared to another. That simply makes you ignorant. Yes the Japan thing was worse, but if you had any kind of common sense you'd understand why. For starters, hurricane people have warnings(I live in Louisiana). Tsunami people have warnings too, but nowhere near the time frame that hurricane people do. Earthquake offers no warning, which also sucks. As I stated, you saying it here makes you ignorant.
@SiAScORCH Look my first comment on this video was Build a city below sea level in an area known for devestating hurricanes = Incredibly stupid.
It also makes the people who choose to live their stupid, and when their homes and lives get washed away they only themselves to blame. I hope a cat 15 off the charts hurricane destroys the entire dirty south hows that for ignorant.
@iLuvBarRefaeli Well I'm looking where you stated: "who choose to live their stupid", that proves just how ignorant you are. The correct term would be there, not their. Go back to grade school, and try again please? As far as you saying you hope a category 15 hurricane comes and hits and destroys the south? Wow man, I actually gave you more credit, because in honesty you're beyond ignorant. That stuff that gets between peoples toes after wearing shoes & socks for hours, that's what you are.
@iLuvBarRefaeli Not everybody can just up and move, so it's not the peoples fault. Thanks for giving me another reason to report you though, that makes three. :)
@SiAScORCH lol you sound like a stuck up teachers pet im gonna report you, well guess what so will I, and its not like youtube will do anything for me hurting your feelings, I can say whatever I want, isnt that what you preach about so much in the Us anyways.
@iLuvBarRefaeli Stuck up teachers pet? LOL. I just have fun making idiots like you appear ignorant, or in your case you made yourself appear ignorant with your statements. You haven't hurt my feelings, so don't get your hopes up, I simply reported you for the comments you made which other users may find rude as well. Oh by the way, the chick icon you have, the naked one with her butt in the air, that's a violation of Youtubes TOS, and can cause your account to be, how to they say it? Poof?
@SiAScORCH You know if there`s one thing I`ve learned on the internet its that you should never argue with an idiot, they`ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience, you being the idiot obviously so il be the bigger man and end this pathetic bickering your trying to lure me into SEE YA!
@iLuvBarRefaeli Then for you to bring the mom comment in here? Wow. I'm glad to see you have the intelligence of a two year old, grow up kid. As a matter of fact, I'm going to attempt to get you flagged and your account suspended for a violation I see.
@iLuvBarRefaeli Awe, a little queer running his mouth, didn't your gay daddy teach you other things to do with it then argue with a man. If you had any common sense or knew how to comprehend then you would see that I never said Katrina was worse then the Japan incident. Not everybody can afford to live in some fancy subdivision so people take what they can get and live where they can afford, just like you living in a shack. It's what you can afford.
@SiAScORCH LOL hold on, firstly im not a homosexual and even if was is there a problem with that? frankly for one you sound like a very primitive person who doesn`t believe in free rights, secondly you using vulgar language doesn`t exactly make you appear very intelligent, it does the exact opposite. So with that I don`t take your words very seriously as they mean just about as much as a talking monkey to me.
@iLuvBarRefaeli duh, i guess we should move it then i suppose huh? Where do u get off calling it stupid? New Orleans is built on one of the busiest waterways in the world and controls the entire Mississippi River Valley through this one port. I obviously wonder why they built New Orleans here STUPID!!
@nos212100 I said the principle factor of coming to the decision to build a city in an area where you know its only a matter of time until its going to be devestated, time and time again was a really stupid idea, who said the city had to be built right on the coast, it could have been built hundreds of kilometres in still alowing movement on the river. Thats using your brain, thinking for the future.
@iLuvBarRefaeli If ur so smart, then why don't you go back in time and tell de La Salle that you can't build New Orleans in that spot. . it gonna sink. Hurricanes would still be a problem. . . they had no idea of the land that Louisiana was made of or that hurricanes where such a nuisance. Maybe someone like you, who is obviously smarter than the founding father of New Orleans, La Salle, you could tell him this information and then people would give a damn about your opinions. MY HOME, LOUISIANA
Awesome fucking footage. Is it just me or are there more of these types of disasters happening now more than ever? 2012 is just around the corner. I hope something big like this happens to the entire God damn fuckilng planet earth then cause this place is fucked up so bad something needs to happen. All the fucking murders and other crime, junkies, overpopulation, disease and virus, crooked politicians, sexual abuse in the churches by priests, homeless people, poverty, etc...I say bring it on!
Oh you look the picture quality really bad, but because the director has delivered a bad job. The special effects are ok, no actor is the whole real boring.
Did the film in the cinema or straight to DVD?
Which studio made the film? Was it perhaps natural disasters for poor people?: D
I heard that hurricane Katrina was a ploy concocted by New Orleans to receive money from the US government. I could be wrong though--I do live in a small shack on a small island in the middle of the pacific ocean. Not to mention my internet server runs on gerbils running in a wheel and my computer screen made out of old glass bottles; and quite frankly I can't even make out the picture--are those Japanese soldiers at 6:23? The Japanese are in on it too? First Pearl Harbor, now New Orleans...Gosh
@samsrevolution I know! thats what he has to be scared of. I lived in PR, we had our generous share of hurricanes and although the winds destroys the most in terms of physical structures, is always the rain and floods what end up costing human life.
All Americans are retards. Why the hell would you stay here. They warned about this storm 5-6 days before it hit. The people who suffered deserved to in my opinion. Fucking idiots.
@MrPersecutor1 They did not. Katrina was a category 1 storm coming off the Florida coast Friday night, the 26th. It meandered in the Gulf early Saturday then began to rapidly intensify Saturday afternoon. Only late Saturday night was Katrina a major hurricane and the impending fate of the Louisiana/Mississippi coast apparent. They basically had Sunday to evacuate New Orleans as the storm made landfall early Monday. Not 5-6 days. Do your homework.
@MrPersecutor1 Katrina came into Florida as a category 1. And yes, Florida knew about it a few days ahead of time. But it was forecast to be Cat 1 in Florida. And it was relatively small in size too. Not until it had crossed into the Gulf did it become the monster that hit Louisiana and Mississippi, There's a BIG difference between a Cat 1 and a Cat 3 or 4. The reality of what was going to happen did not set in until about 24, maybe 36 hours before the second landfall.
@MrPersecutor1 Before you flame me again about the forecast of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf, take a look at your comments on your channel. I have a video you need to see. You have no clue what you, or I, am talking about. As of Thursday night, Aug. 25, (72 hours before the Louisiana landfall), Katrina is projected to move north along the Florida coast and strike the panhandle as a minimal hurricane. LA and MS are not even in the discussion yet, let alone the idea of it exploding into a Cat 5.

@04poptart04 Im not trying to be insensitive or hurt anyones feelings, im just speaking from a logical sense, that the people in this area knew the risks of living in this area and something this katrina is something very possible. It was very sad, just like how millions of Japanese are going through similar devestation, not only did they lose 1 city they lost hundreds of towns and villages.

@SiAScORCH Hold on a sec, are you saying that me saying what happened in Japan is worse is ignorant of me, well it is worse many more people lost their lives, along with flooding and exteme devestation to not one city but hundreds of towns and villages, along with an earthquake destroying the infastructure and on top of that deadly radiation, get over yourself Katrina was a long time ago, stop trying to make people feel sorry for you, and about blowing myself, your mom takes care of that.

@iLuvBarRefaeli You come on one natural disaster and say something like oh this isn't jack compared to another. That simply makes you ignorant. Yes the Japan thing was worse, but if you had any kind of common sense you'd understand why. For starters, hurricane people have warnings(I live in Louisiana). Tsunami people have warnings too, but nowhere near the time frame that hurricane people do. Earthquake offers no warning, which also sucks. As I stated, you saying it here makes you ignorant.

@SiAScORCH Look my first comment on this video was Build a city below sea level in an area known for devestating hurricanes = Incredibly stupid.
It also makes the people who choose to live their stupid, and when their homes and lives get washed away they only themselves to blame. I hope a cat 15 off the charts hurricane destroys the entire dirty south hows that for ignorant.
iLuvBarRefaeli 9 months ago
@iLuvBarRefaeli Well I'm looking where you stated: "who choose to live their stupid", that proves just how ignorant you are. The correct term would be there, not their. Go back to grade school, and try again please? As far as you saying you hope a category 15 hurricane comes and hits and destroys the south? Wow man, I actually gave you more credit, because in honesty you're beyond ignorant. That stuff that gets between peoples toes after wearing shoes & socks for hours, that's what you are.

@iLuvBarRefaeli Stuck up teachers pet? LOL. I just have fun making idiots like you appear ignorant, or in your case you made yourself appear ignorant with your statements. You haven't hurt my feelings, so don't get your hopes up, I simply reported you for the comments you made which other users may find rude as well. Oh by the way, the chick icon you have, the naked one with her butt in the air, that's a violation of Youtubes TOS, and can cause your account to be, how to they say it? Poof?

@iLuvBarRefaeli Then for you to bring the mom comment in here? Wow. I'm glad to see you have the intelligence of a two year old, grow up kid. As a matter of fact, I'm going to attempt to get you flagged and your account suspended for a violation I see.
SiAScORCH 9 months ago
@iLuvBarRefaeli Awe, a little queer running his mouth, didn't your gay daddy teach you other things to do with it then argue with a man. If you had any common sense or knew how to comprehend then you would see that I never said Katrina was worse then the Japan incident. Not everybody can afford to live in some fancy subdivision so people take what they can get and live where they can afford, just like you living in a shack. It's what you can afford.

@SiAScORCH LOL hold on, firstly im not a homosexual and even if was is there a problem with that? frankly for one you sound like a very primitive person who doesn`t believe in free rights, secondly you using vulgar language doesn`t exactly make you appear very intelligent, it does the exact opposite. So with that I don`t take your words very seriously as they mean just about as much as a talking monkey to me.

nos212100 5 months ago
@nos212100 I said the principle factor of coming to the decision to build a city in an area where you know its only a matter of time until its going to be devestated, time and time again was a really stupid idea, who said the city had to be built right on the coast, it could have been built hundreds of kilometres in still alowing movement on the river. Thats using your brain, thinking for the future.
iLuvBarRefaeli 5 months ago
@iLuvBarRefaeli If ur so smart, then why don't you go back in time and tell de La Salle that you can't build New Orleans in that spot. . it gonna sink. Hurricanes would still be a problem. . . they had no idea of the land that Louisiana was made of or that hurricanes where such a nuisance. Maybe someone like you, who is obviously smarter than the founding father of New Orleans, La Salle, you could tell him this information and then people would give a damn about your opinions.

Oh you look the picture quality really bad, but because the director has delivered a bad job. The special effects are ok, no actor is the whole real boring.
Did the film in the cinema or straight to DVD?
Which studio made the film? Was it perhaps natural disasters for poor people?: D

I heard that hurricane Katrina was a ploy concocted by New Orleans to receive money from the US government. I could be wrong though--I do live in a small shack on a small island in the middle of the pacific ocean. Not to mention my internet server runs on gerbils running in a wheel and my computer screen made out of old glass bottles; and quite frankly I can't even make out the picture--are those Japanese soldiers at 6:23? The Japanese are in on it too? First Pearl Harbor, now New Orleans...Gosh

All Americans are retards. Why the hell would you stay here. They warned about this storm 5-6 days before it hit. The people who suffered deserved to in my opinion. Fucking idiots.
MrPersecutor1 1 year ago
@MrPersecutor1 They did not. Katrina was a category 1 storm coming off the Florida coast Friday night, the 26th. It meandered in the Gulf early Saturday then began to rapidly intensify Saturday afternoon. Only late Saturday night was Katrina a major hurricane and the impending fate of the Louisiana/Mississippi coast apparent. They basically had Sunday to evacuate New Orleans as the storm made landfall early Monday. Not 5-6 days. Do your homework.

@nickthestick26 You are talking out your arse friend. I was in florida at the time and we were warned 4 days earlier OK. Get your facts right dipshit
MrPersecutor1 1 year ago
@MrPersecutor1 Katrina came into Florida as a category 1. And yes, Florida knew about it a few days ahead of time. But it was forecast to be Cat 1 in Florida. And it was relatively small in size too. Not until it had crossed into the Gulf did it become the monster that hit Louisiana and Mississippi, There's a BIG difference between a Cat 1 and a Cat 3 or 4. The reality of what was going to happen did not set in until about 24, maybe 36 hours before the second landfall.
nickthestick26 1 year ago
@MrPersecutor1 Before you flame me again about the forecast of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf, take a look at your comments on your channel. I have a video you need to see. You have no clue what you, or I, am talking about. As of Thursday night, Aug. 25, (72 hours before the Louisiana landfall), Katrina is projected to move north along the Florida coast and strike the panhandle as a minimal hurricane. LA and MS are not even in the discussion yet, let alone the idea of it exploding into a Cat 5.
