# of homes flooded: Katrina vs '16 Flood?
Posted on 8/17/16 at 8:57 pm

Not severity but just sheer number of homes flooded from Katrina to BR flood, I'd think Katrina has an edge but hardly by much. Any thoughts or guesses?
20

Katrina and it's not close... Think about all the Mississippi homes that were flooded too.

This better not turn into a dick measuring contest about who had it worst

No way no how
Katrina was a much smaller area
And oh, the avg value of the 2016 house flood is 20 times the value of the 7th ward houses

Two seconds on Google:
Probably three times as many with Katrina.

Besides the death toll, hurricane Katrina left many people homeless as more than 800,000 housing units were destroyed or damaged in the storm.

Nah, that's why I don't want severity as part of equation. Katrina had cities under 10 ft of water for weeks. This is just about sheer number of flood homes. I mean 4 " of water does nearly same as 3 ft

Katrina had over 800k homes that were destroyed/damaged. BR Flood has 40k

"Or damaged"
That is very vague wording

Take a 0 off the Katrina total and it's pretty close

Quit calling it the "BR flood". Towns all across southern Louisiana were flooded.
Posted on 8/17/16 at 9:07 pm to colorchangintiger
Well I felt bad calling it the '16 flood cause there was bad flood here in spring time
Posted on 8/17/16 at 9:07 pm to Chad504boy
Hmm, let's see. St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parish were destroyed. In Orleans, Broadmoor, Mid City, Lakeview and Gentilly neighborhoods, along with everything east of the Industrial Canal were significantly flooded. Throw in what was flooded in Jefferson.

134,000 houses were flooded in the New Orleans area during Katrina.
