Rita was worse for BR than Katrina. Neither did the damage that the flood of 2016 did.


But Rita didn’t increase tha cultucha like Katrina did.

Imagine how much worse it would've been if Katrina actually hit New Orleans instead of Bay St. Louis.

NOLA has to steal Biloxi's thunder.

Mississippi always get the worst but New Orleans steals the sympathy limelight because the superdome had a rice paper roof and the governor didn't know which way was up (RIP).

We get hit all the time in Florida, we just don't cry like a little bitch.

Dorian's gonna be a 4 and coming right for Orlando, see how we do.

then your own statement SHOULD make you sick. They're not just incompetent, they're negligent, and I dont understand why your neighborhoods havent assembled the masses and made too much noise for them to keep blaming this on isolated incidents. If you love the city so much then make yourself heard! The Northshore would really appreciate it, yall keep coming up here and fricking up the vibe AND the traffic patterns.

It definitely is a New Orleans thing to whine about old hurricanes.

When I was at LSU in the late 90's you'd go down to New Orleans and they were still whining about Hurricane Betsy from the 60's. Still crying about it 35 years later. "The water was this high".

Get over it. Now they doing the same with Katrina 15 years on and they still cry like the old ladies at Rocky and Carlo's.

I can see NYC still in shock over Sandy because its rare but c'mon New Orleans, act like you've been there before.

Some weird NOLA psyche of woe. They just dwell on the past and say how great the city would've been if no Katrina. It was a hell hole of corruption, murder and crime before K-ville and now in 2020. It's not like Amazon would've opened up HQ down there and you'd have 3 more Super Bowl wins if Katrina never was.

The rest of the gulf coast handles their shite like men. Fact.

The katrina disaster in New Orleans was not your typical hurricane disaster. It's a fricking miracle the city rebuilt.

As a Mississippi resident I understand your point, but I dont think that disparaging the NOLA folks is helpful. Everyone was impacted in different ways and went about it differently. We all have the scars.

Landmass strong!

Wish I could have known New Orleans pre-Katrina.


It was nothing like it is now. It was so much fun. It really was one of the greatest cities in the country.

Your comment is the most ignorant post I've ever read on this board.

Was starting my first year in law school. Went 5 days without power up here in Zachary and tried to keep that in perspective with what NOLA was going through. Actually have a very good lawyer friend to this day that I would have likely never met if Katrina didn’t put the NOLA law schools out for the year. We got a lot of Tulane and Loyola students. Rita was worse for us up here but Katrina easily had a bigger impact when you consider it in total.
