I read this in written form. It scared the unholy shit out of me...

What you're hearing is an actual message from the NWS office in Slidel, Louisiana. Sent at 1011AM Central time on the 28th of August, it was explicit in its description of what people could expect from the storm. You can look up National Weather Service bulletin for New Orleans region on WikiPedia for the entire wording, but it is the first time in history that the Weather Service warned of such devastation with bluntness.

omg did they have to make it so dramatic. I know it was horrible but it just basically bluntly told you that you were toast

Does anybody get freaked out when seeing these messages? The tones, the robotic voice, the impending doom they seem to convey...they're all nightmares even if the disaster is nowhere near me.
