August 28th 2005 evacuating New Orleans with a 175 mph super-cane 18 hours from landfall was the scariest day of my life. If anything, the city dogged a bullet with Katrina weakening and edging slightly to the east. It would have been apocalyptic. New Orleans would have been buried under the Gulf of Mexico.
Can't believe it's Been 6 years. Seeing this brings back the several emotions i was experiencing. While this was going on, I was in a hotel in Metairie, Louisiana wondering if I was going to live!!! I feel very fortunate that I made it through safely. Hopefully this depression will only bring much needed rain in LA ad nothing more!
Overnight: Bands of heavy rain containing strong gusty winds at times. Low 76. ENE winds at 25 to 40 mph, increasing to over 100 mph. Rainfall over two inches.
Monday: Showery rains containing strong gusty winds and heavy downpours at times. High 86. Winds ESE at over 100 mph, becoming SSW and diminishing to 80 to 100 mph. Rainfall over two inches. Wind gusts could reach 140 mph.
Monday Night: Windy with showers. Low 77. Chance of rain 50%.
that is the most insane weather forecast i've ever heard. It's funny how computerized and impersonal it is. Just ho-hum, here's the forecast. You're about to get fuckin ROCKED.
@dj0287 good job on your videos from katrina because i never got to see any of these videos because we stayed for katrina downtown and it was horrible. I really see now wat u meant how bad mississippi was. The crazy thing that i saw on one person video was a barge lifted off the water and onto the beach. That was unbelieveable. But hell of a job for showing the world what hell we went threw!
@TheCanadianPenguin I stayed because I live about 10 miles from the beach in a rural area so the storm surge wasn't a problem also because when u evacuate its a pain in the ass gettin back. I didn't stay at home though my family met up at a hotel off of I-10 and we rode it out there. My house didnt get totaled but it was damaged..I lost my roof a whole window along with the frame was blown out of the wall and my back porch collapsed but it was all repairable.
What's really awesome is the duration of the storm--100mph at 6am, still 100mph at noon, decreasing to 70-90mph by 6 pm-that is a long time to endure hurricane force winds!
Gotta love that extended forecast: "expect fair skies Tues through Thurs" lol
Thanks for uploading. Up here in southwest Hinds County, we were merely inconvenienced with a week long power outage & minor wind damage; nothing remotely like the devastation y'all had on the coast. I still cannot imagine what it must have been like down there.
Are you souprised that tar balls are in Texes now. I think Hurricane Alex and Tropical Deprestion 2/Tropical storm Bonnie (I don't know if it got named) did it.
@Dj0287 Well my brother had a life of fishing untill the oil spill happend he was so sad he moved to Nebraska and starded working with me as a landscaper.
its crazy that they still do normal weather forecasts like this while an impending cat 5 hurricane is about to make landfall. "wind gusts up to 140 mph"......yeah, totally normal. o_O
lost the roof and had a pine tree fall next to my home and a branch from that pine tree went thru a window and knocked the whole window frame and all out of the house...and i lost my car...but compared to some people i was very very fortuante!
@Dj0287 So no water damage? That's good. My grandfather lives in Waveland and they live not too far from the beach. They didn't completley loose their home, but when I saw the water line I was horrified. I live in Slidell but didn't get any water. We lost shingles off our roof and all of our pine trees fell in our front and back yard except for 2 of them. One of them which were still standing were completely defoliated.
Water damage in one room from the roof but other than that no very lucky...I live in Lyman a few miles north of I-10 in a rural area and have woods behind my house and every tree shrub or bush left standing was defoliated houses I couldnt see before I could see easily because of the defoliated trees. I imagine it was a horrific sight to see just how high the water was...thats good to hear you didnt get any water...I saw plenty of pictures and video from Slidell and Eden Isle of the water damage.
I remember Katrina very well. I was only 11 and we stayed in Metairie. The wind was gusting well over 100 and there was serious flooding. I will definitely remember this for the rest of my life.
I live about a 10-15 min drive from the coast...rainfall totals were unavailable because the instrumentation was damaged or because power went out...my Davis Vantage Pro weather station was in fact destroyed in the storm so I don't know how much rain I got either. Rainfall estimates from doppler radar had between 8-12 inches total for the area.
Tell you what I was in New Orlians win the storm hit at on of the hotels in down town I don't live in New Orlians I was just there for vecation I came at a bad time lol XD. I was scared were you.
During the storm I was worried about my house..but I wasnt scared....I was scared that Sunday morning when it was a category 5 headed for us...thats when i was scared!
I have other clips from earlier in the day that sunday...search Hurricane Katrina local forecast 8/28/05...I have 5 clips one at 6:38am, one at 1:08pm, one at 3:28pm, one at 4:28pm and one at 7:08pm...those are the full local forecasts. Hope that helps!
No unfortunetly i hit the record button to late for this local on the 8s...what you see is what you get...the other local on the 8s i mentioned above are the whole local forecast.
Listen up. I'm only gonna tell you this one time, and one time only. I was NOT laughing at the video. I was laughing about a comment Baka made about the video. Pay more attention next time, okay?
Do they really need all this info. Like temprature and stuff. Why not just flash the word HURRICANE for 2 minutes and tell everyone to get the hell out of there!
"...cause major damage to even WELL CONSTRUCTED buildings. Higher wind speeds will be SIGNIFICANTLY stronger on upper floors of tall buildings causing damage. o_o
....
....
....
....DIRECT STRIKE OF POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC AND LIFE THREATENING HURRICANE EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY....0_0
gotta love the local forcasts tho.... i mean i know its acomputer and all but it could be a little more practicle but hey at least its not showing any bias in the reporting of winds eh 140 mph is just as bad as 5mph.... im sorry but i cant help but laugh
Nice weather midweek but hot and muggy especially since they didnt have power! Just ask my grandma she lives down in Biloxi and had to experence that hurricane and even though she lived through camilie she said that was the worst hurricane she had ever been through.
Actually it pounded us here on the Mississippi Coast harder than New Orleans because we were on the worst side of the storm and had the stronger winds and the storm surge....New Orleans disaster was pretty much man made because of the levee failures...if the levees wouldn't have failed New Orleans would have been fine.
No I live in Gulfport, MS. the MS Coast had a 30+ foot storm surge...I luckily live about 10 min away from the coast and out of the surge zone about 40-50 ft above sea level so surge wasn't a problem for me personally just the wind damage
If youjust think of size alone with that system, if the eye was parked over Sacramento, California, the width of it would take it to eastern Utah/western Colorado and north/south it would reach to southern Washington on the north and to the tip of Baja on the south

I thought the same thing though, lol! Maybe they should put together some more dramatic voices for Hurricane forecasts. They could use Jim Cantore's voice. He's the greatest!
if a huricane is over category two u figure a way to leave but shit u see category 4 u leave but when u see a crazzy ass category 5 hurricane u hop leap and skip out that muthafucka
Lol It is funny the way he says windgusts of 140mph like its a natural every day occurance in Los and Mis and then you got somebody on the other side of the world going mad over a 40pmh gust lol anyway saying that Katrina was anything but funny what a disaster lets hope Ike calms down soon or it could be a repeat of Katrina.
um, have you ever heard of hurricane katrina? There was no fear mongering or hype in that forecast...that's exactly what happened along the MS coastline.
Should you be scared? If you stayed behind yeah, you beter have been scared!
I'm not angry but you make it seem like they were hypin and just trying to scare people...when all they did was tell you exactly what was going to happen. Katrina was a 5 when that forecast was made-that SHOULD scare you.
I've always been curious to how the local forecast would go when you're expecting a hurricane to strike. I would think the forecast would say "Hurricane Katrina" and that's all you'd have to say, but wow.
It would be scary to see a hurricane like this coming- especially on the local on the 8's! I like to see heavy rain but the winds- 150 mph is too much. I can't get enough..... I have been listening to it for 5 days straight. Thanks Dj0287!
man watching this still creeps me out. that was one hurricane i'll never forget. too bad there was like a 24/7 curfew and i couldn't go play in the sun.
wow ive never seen weather on the eights on twc predict such high speeds. i live in a somewhat windy area where it got at times up to 50 miles per hour but never heard a message saying "gusts up to 140 mph" scary!
yeah but imagine weather like that with NO WATER and NO AIR CONDITIONING!! Just as many people died in the aftermath of Katrina than during the hurricane itself
I wish it would have rained after, I swear it seemed like we never got rain for at least a month after, I rember not falling asleep outside till almost midnight because it was so hot. That reminds me of how many stars we could see because there were no lights anywhere, you could see millions i would just lay there on the matress in the driveway looking at them
Ah not really excited...been through plenty of hurricanes before...its more of a nervous excitement because you dont know what's gonna happen and the waiting takes for ever...but after the storm is miserable with no utilities...I was without power for a month and a half...cable for 2 months and phone service for 3 months...which sucked because at the time I had dial-up internet so I didn't have the internet for the 3 months after the storm!
That local forecast is a very creepy thing to see. Usually, the local forecast doesn't go into much detail, even when severe weather is predicted. But when it says things like winds of 140MPH in your local forecast... it just gives me chills!
August 28th 2005 evacuating New Orleans with a 175 mph super-cane 18 hours from landfall was the scariest day of my life. If anything, the city dogged a bullet with Katrina weakening and edging slightly to the east. It would have been apocalyptic. New Orleans would have been buried under the Gulf of Mexico.

Wind gusts could reach 140 mph?
do they want to scare ppl?
drcoxrox18 3 years ago
um, have you ever heard of hurricane katrina? There was no fear mongering or hype in that forecast...that's exactly what happened along the MS coastline.
Should you be scared? If you stayed behind yeah, you beter have been scared!
jppuertorico85 3 years ago
no need to get angry, geez.
drcoxrox18 3 years ago
I'm not angry but you make it seem like they were hypin and just trying to scare people...when all they did was tell you exactly what was going to happen. Katrina was a 5 when that forecast was made-that SHOULD scare you.

I love the song used for Storm Alert, even though, whenever things head to Georgia, I want to die. I hate storms....ESPECIALLY hurricanes.
Dark2553 3 years ago
I've always been curious to how the local forecast would go when you're expecting a hurricane to strike. I would think the forecast would say "Hurricane Katrina" and that's all you'd have to say, but wow.
BillyBong05 3 years ago
Wind gusts could reach 140 mph.
I would crap my pants if I saw that.
Ninja691 3 years ago
I LOVE THAT STORM ALERT MUSIC!!!!
It would be scary to see a hurricane like this coming- especially on the local on the 8's! I like to see heavy rain but the winds- 150 mph is too much. I can't get enough..... I have been listening to it for 5 days straight. Thanks Dj0287!

Forecast: RAIN SQUALLS!!
FUN!!!
hymnsinger5 3 years ago 3
wow ive never seen weather on the eights on twc predict such high speeds. i live in a somewhat windy area where it got at times up to 50 miles per hour but never heard a message saying "gusts up to 140 mph" scary!
martincruz1988 3 years ago
clip 4 of the local on the 8's says gusts up to 150 mph!
Dj0287 3 years ago
This is true- I noticed that too, but when winds are this high, 10 mph doesn't make much of a difference unless it means an increase in speed.
socool375 3 years ago
Have you ever had a cat 4 hurricane forecast to hit where you live? then of course you wouldn't see your local forecast predict that...duh
jppuertorico85 3 years ago
Aside from the fact that this was probably the worst natural disaster this country has ever seen, gotta say the local forecast music was pretty cool.
wazuppy1 3 years ago
when I watch the local on the 8ts itl be like winds 5 to 10 mph and here it like wind up to 140 mph different hough

If you survive the hurricane...then you can play in the sun and 90s over the next 3 days!
Philliefan69 3 years ago 6
yeah but imagine weather like that with NO WATER and NO AIR CONDITIONING!! Just as many people died in the aftermath of Katrina than during the hurricane itself
metsfreak4life 2 years ago
The fact it was sunny would be huge for the rescue efforts afterward, since rain and wind from thunderstorms would really slow things down.
itsalleternal 2 years ago
I wish it would have rained after, I swear it seemed like we never got rain for at least a month after, I rember not falling asleep outside till almost midnight because it was so hot. That reminds me of how many stars we could see because there were no lights anywhere, you could see millions i would just lay there on the matress in the driveway looking at them

If New Orleans will get the first first named storm of this 2008 season (arthur), that would mean somewhat a drought relief for the southeast.

Its the old weather alert music. Its a custom made song created by TWC. Why werent the warnings being displayed at the bottom in this forecast?

Storm alert. If you want to song I will e-mail it to you. :)

"Direct strike of potentially catastrophic and life threatening hurricane expected late tonight..."
Man.... excuse my French, but that's easily the most fucked up thing I've ever read on a Weather Channel scroll.

Wow! rain squalls, 83 and some sun. with winds of only 93 mph. I woulda ran like crazy. Worst storm ever

u must be pretty excited and scared at the same time
digitalchatroom 4 years ago
Ah not really excited...been through plenty of hurricanes before...its more of a nervous excitement because you dont know what's gonna happen and the waiting takes for ever...but after the storm is miserable with no utilities...I was without power for a month and a half...cable for 2 months and phone service for 3 months...which sucked because at the time I had dial-up internet so I didn't have the internet for the 3 months after the storm!
Dj0287 4 years ago
Well it could've been worse, no? At least your had your health!
clorenzo17 4 years ago
That local forecast is a very creepy thing to see. Usually, the local forecast doesn't go into much detail, even when severe weather is predicted. But when it says things like winds of 140MPH in your local forecast... it just gives me chills!
