Had the flood walls not failed, Katrina would have been a MS hurricane. Remember initially there was no flooding in NO just a lot of blown out windows. It was a day or so later the walls failed.
How does this post on page 1 have such a positive reaction. People are reading the first sentence and thinking yeah that’s true and assuming the rest of it is true.

Yeah, it is all off as far as timeline.

This is irresponsibly wrong

The roof getting peeled off the Superdome, and all the windows getting blown out of the Hyatt would have still happened without the floodwall failures. Nola got walloped, certainly. But still, take away the floodwall failures and the story of Katrina turns out very different.

But this idea that people in New Orleans weren’t tough enough to pick themselves up is comical.
Were there any videos of people looting beer, TVs, and shoes from Mississippi? How much looting outside of New Orleans of non food items actually occurred?

That storm surge map is wrong. Lower plaq parish where the hurricane first hit had storm surge over 20ft.

My family’s home on coast the of Mississippi got looted when we were away
Does that count?

More damage but a literal clean slate to immediately start rebuilding
Sorry the landmass didn’t get enough attention

It's pretty simple. Media loves a shite show and new Orleans always delivers.

We had higher winds than that in north AL. We lost a couple of trees from it, and I remember sitting on our balcony at the time watching the trees sway back and forth in the wind.
I drove home that night from work and saw one of the strangest weather things I've ever seen when I was crossing the Tennessee River bridge. It is hard to explain, but it was raining pretty good and the winds were high. There were only a couple of other cars out then. Anyway, the wind was blowing perpendicular to the bridges, and for some reason it caught the rain and sent it upward 20+ feet in spiraling bands. I can only guess that the structure of the bride was causing the wind to do weird shite. There were four of those bands in perfect arcs. I had the car splitting the two lanes because the gusts were moving me around pretty good.

My impression was that MGC cleaned up quite fast, but beach property spent years returning to jungle before much recovery started.

My Aunt and Uncle had just finished their place in Waveland right before it hit. They hadn’t even taken the plastic off of most of the furniture. All that was left was a slab

Mississippi did get hammered no doubt. What they didn’t deal with is the viscous crime and chaos that ensued. A rape in the superdome, that rapist being caught and legitimately thrown off of the GNO bridge by the good guys (100% fact I was there in uniform), the shootout at a nearby mall…then a legendary sheriff saying to light it because the suspects were in one wi g of the mall and couldn’t get out. Another fact. A spec ops platoon being stranded and forgotten in NO East to the point they had to kill a deer, skin it, then cook it to get by. The good guys having to put people down in NO that were shooting at helicopters dropping off supplies. See it, drop them, and ask no questions. Sniper style.
