  • WWL Rocks! They have always kept the people of New Orleans and the surounding parrishes informed when anytype of tropical system is comming there way espically a storm like this one or Besty that hit there in the 8o's. (I beleve thats what is was)Nash Roberts rocked while he was there also.

  • WWL (and rival station WDSU) streamed their live coverage online, so although I live thousands of miles away, I watched coverage (mostly WWL's) online for hours on end, day after day.

    In my opinion, WWL and WDSU's coverage of the storm was the "finest hour" in the history of television in New Orleans.

    After Katrina, I even E-Mailed the Television Academy suggesting both WWL and WDSU get special Emmy awards for their live coverage of the storm.

  • I was at the Convention Center in New Orleans the Friday before Katrina for tht taping of The wheel Of Fortune.

  • @sweetamyleigh Brad panovich had left WWL TV early in 2003 for a TV station in Charlotte, North Carolina. He only came back to help out for Hurricane Katrina coverage and then resumed his normal duties in Charlotte.

  • oh man...I remember the weekend it happened. I going to Maine from NJ to visit my dad...I heard bits of it on the radio..but didn't see the carnage on tv til I got to my fathers that night. oh man...just heartbreaking and epic devastation! All those people getting stuck on the roofs

  • Funny, 2 days before Katrina hit, storm was supposed to land in Florida at Apalachicola, then Panama City, then Pensacola. Storm was supposed to turn east but it never did. We live in New Orleans, got 6 ft of water in our home but were able to rebuild. We were back in our house 1 year & 1 day after Katrina.
