Katrina NW EyeWall

We live 35 miles north of New Orleans in Abita Springs and decided to ride out the storm because my business has a contract to respond to emergencies at a local hospital. We are just less than 15 miles west from the eye of the storm and this video was taken outside my home. My next door neighbor and I agreed to stay in touch and we had 2 way radios. I got in touch with him after a tree fell on his roof. It is kind of muffled but he says he went into the attic and all is well now. He blocked the water coming in.

That was the eye wall of Katrina?.. Yeah right, that could have been a regular rainy day anywhere. The wall of a hurricane's eye is the deadliest part of the hurricane. It ain't this shit.

Well my aptly named friend, if you would of pulled out a map, you would of seen that my little hamlet was in the NW quadrant of the storm, so therefore the force of the storm was not as powerful. I live 18 miles west from Slidell, where the center of the storm came ashore in the Waveland-Slidell area. The NE quadrant of the storm has the most damage causing winds. According to our emergency director, our area suffered over 1000 tornados during that 24 hours period.

1000 tornadoes is sort of over doing it dont u think???? since the record is about 123 and most of new orleans would have been leveled by all of them

Well Beulah(1967)spawned 141 tornadoes. 3 distinct paths are still visible within a half mile of my home. The "1000 tornadoes" figure comes from listening to the radio after the storm and I heard the emergency dir. report that there were 1K tornadoes.I am assuming he meant the ones that swirl inside the storm. If there was tornadic formations without a touchdown, maybe the radar was picking up those possibles. Didn't mean to imply that there were 1K tornadoes that touched the grnd. That's dumb.

wow there was so much damaged caused to New Orleans. One time I was watching the new and they said that everyone went into where the hornets playes

[wandrwiz]

Well close. It was next door at the Superdome where the NFL's New Orleans Saints play.

[seafan86]

eyewall, how about outer band

[billbrasky110]

I was in Hattiesburg during this one. 60 miles straight north of Gulfport. The eye came right over Hattiesburg and caused more damage than this. Not downplaying the severity but Hattiesburg got alot worse. I have been through many many hurricanes and the only one I was actually scared in was Katrina. Never will I be scared of a storm again after that one.

I'd like to see when the other side of the hurricane struck again...then it must have been bed...
