Actually the winds were 140-145 at the mouth of the mississippi river, And based on my intercept in Gulfport winds were in excess of 140mph for periods exceeding 1 minute.

And it was also an enormous hurricane, which probably made the surge worse.

Faulty building was what did in New Orleans. Storm was not a big deal
-
The sustained winds over the NO area, well to the west of the eye were out of a northerly quadrant and low cat 1, for example, a station in East NO reported sustained one minute winds of 78mph, barely minimum hurricane strength. The highest windspeed reported was a gust (not sustained wind) to 134mph on the LA coast a long way south of NO.

WDSU (and rival station WWL) both streamed their live coverage of Katrina online.
Thus, although I live thousands of miles away, I was able to watch their live streams hours on end before, during, and after the storm.
After the storm passed, I even E-Mailed the Television Academy suggesting that WDSU and WWL both get special Emmy awards for their outstanding live coverage of Katrina.

I think the pumps were overwhelmed.

It wasn't wind, it was water.

When you really think about it Katrina was not as bad as feared. Sustained winds in the Gulf were 175 mph but they decreased to around 130 or so at landfall. That is very significant

Yeah but you're forgetting one thing...Storm surge!! A hurricane isn't just about the wind. Yes 175 down to 130 is very significant and we here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast were glad that it decreased but we had no idea it would still carry with it a cat 5 surge of 30+ feet and would still devestate the Mississippi Gulf Coast like it did!
