re: Just in case you didn’t know Hurricane Katrina actually made landfall in Mississippi too

because that was the sexier story for the media to run with.

FEMA nor any help did not show up in Hattiesburg until two weeks after the Hurricane … despite Camp Shelby less than 15 away that was a staging ground for New Orleans. FEMA and W were a pathetic joke…

Another gem by TardHillTiger. I’m always amazed at how sure people can be of themselves while being wrong.
First landfall was in Florida, second landfall was in Buras, Louisiana, and the third and final landfall was exactly on the border of Louisiana and Mississippi. Which means the third and final landfall was equally Louisiana and Mississippi and neither state has more of a claim to it. But that’s moot anyways because it hit Buras, Louisiana.
Moving that direction, the right side of the storm is stronger. But they don’t place landfall based on what was hit worse. It’s based on where the center is.

Simply not true.

It been about 10 years since i drove the Gulf front road in Waveland. There was still nothing on that shoreline.

Fake news. Katrina is the only major hurricane to ever hit the US and it landed right on top of Nola and remained there at cat 5 strength for days.

Little Lake. Just east of Slidell.

It did not fricking hit New Orleans, they got like Cat 3 impacts and the shitty levees failed. All those deaths were caused by people’s stupidity.
This is really dumb. It’s not a competition. NOLA got rocked, it made landfall basically at the state line after passing over the southern parishes, and would have been much worse for MS without that buffer.

Aaron Broussard was as bad as C-Ray. Probably worse since Broussard had no excuse.
This can not be overstated enough. All of the flooding in northern Kenner and Metairie (Lake Broussard) by the lake could be attributed to the cascade of events that started with the decision to evacuate the pump operators to a distance location, the operators leaving the pumps running unattended with no source of power except for the electrical grid, the electrical grid going down, the pumps losing power but still remaining open and allowing water to flood back in from the lake into the canal system at 2x the flow rate (per the corps of engineers post-Katrina study) for days as the winds were too high to fly them back in via helicopter so no one closed the openings. The water filling the canals then the streets then flooding houses. 2/5ths of Jefferson houses were flooded and over 3B of insurance claims.
There were no levee failures in that part of Jefferson. Airline highway flooded from the water flowing from New Orleans.
The fact that this was the “plan” that was in place shows the lack of foresight and/or intelligence at the local government level

It hit Mississippi, and short of Robin Roberts who is from Pas Chrsitian, the media ignored that.
However...it was equal devastation for the entire region...A tragedy we all shared, an continue to share. No reason to be pissed 20 years later. We all suffered.

Chocolate City got 99% of the attention.

I got the eyewall in Slidell, so unless it was moving west, it made landfall in LA.

Here are some radar images from Katrina. The final landfall was basically right on the MS/LA border. This put the MS coast right in the northern & eastern parts of the eye wall, which would have been the most intense part of Katrina with a massive onshore push of wind (and therefore storm surge). Places like Slidell, LA eastward to the MS border were also in the northern eye wall.

Has anyone watched the Katrina documentary on Hulu?
My wife and I watched it and it's BS. They are trying hard to change the narrative of what happened. They blamed Bush for not getting there sooner and saying that impacted the response with no mention of the fact that Bush called Blanco and pleaded with her to declare a state of emergency so that he could send in federal assistance before landfall, to which she denied.
They also tried to downplay the looting saying it was just people getting the food they needed, when we saw people running through waist deep water with TVs.
They tried to downplay the crime and said it didn't happen, no one was getting raped, people weren't shooting. One guy even stated that they weren't shooting at the helicopters, just shooting in the air to get their attention.
Oh, and all the white people were rescued first, but you already knew that.

Can confirm that many media outlets were doing things like this. Blatantly lying while people who were trying to actually help were there. The media is never there to help.

Look at it this way...did you really want attention? what would attention have done for you.. would there have been less deaths and destruction... at least you didn’t get attention that brought gawking dipshits on destruction tour buses staring slackjawed and taking pictures at you're life in shambles. Not to mention the attention it got us that sent wave after wave of transplant from the PWN and other shitty places and turned our culture into a shitty hipster caricature. Crime is a big part of the reason I don't live in NOLA anymore...but NOLA not being the NOLA I grew up in is a bigger reason.
All that to say... the attention wasn't what you're cracking it up to be

Good point.

Storm surge got to 28 ft at my uncle's house in the Pass (waterline to ceiling in raised house on the water).
