I think I woke up at about this time on the 28th, I remember waking up and turning on TWC, seeing Storm Alert and absolutely crapping myself at how strong this thing was
@mysterykid1200 Heres the thing when Katrina made landfall it was east of us and at a mere Cat 3 so like everyone in N.O like myself that was nothin but a ride out storm if we knew what we knew now many people who died in the storm would be still living. We was not affecte by Katrina but our inept levies which was not up to adequate design caused so much devestation.
it really annoys me when everyone blames the government for the Katrina disaster. I agree that the government didn't respond too well, but way too many people stayed after being told to leave and depended on the gov. And even if there wasn't a mandatory evacuation, lets look at the stats:
Cat 5 Hurricane
175 mph winds
City is 5-15 feet below sea level in most places
40-70 year old levees
25+ feet of storm surge
I don't know about you, but if that was me, I would be hauling ass out of there.
Kevin Robinson was a meteorologist for 16 WAPT here in Jackson Mississipp i remember him real well and he also graduated at mississippi state university btw i actually i live in Jackson Mississippi

Actually it may have been a few hours from it, the pressure in this clip was at 907mb, the actual peak of Katrina was 902mb
