What if Katrina had taken a different path?

Say Katrina had made landfall in the Golden Meadow area and tracked thru Covington and then into Mississippi what shape would New Orleans be in today?

How should I know?

What if Katrina somehow never died and become some kind of Demon Storm possessed by Satan and bent on destroying Christian churches but sparing Mosques. What would that say about Mosques?

The crime rate in Baton Rouge and Houston would be much lower

Kanye West would have had to blame something else on Bush.

Well considering it did make landfall in MS and literally wiped it off the map. Which the media completley ignored, the better question would probably be what if it had hit NewO dead on.
Technically it made landfall around buras but went back over water then KOd the MS coast.

Well thats what I mean, what if NOLA was in the northeast quadrant as opposed to Waveland/BSL/Pearlington? Could the city have potentially ceased to exist as we know it?

Football state champs would be different

As someone who saw all the damage from multiple cities and areas. If Katrine would have hit NO head on it seriously wouldn't be there anymore. The actual northeast section of the storm looked like a nuke went off 60 miles inland. As in flattened....Miss took way more damage than New Orleans and it's shitty flood protection....but the culture and drama won the attention of the media.

These Heinekens would have gone to waste.

Poor man just trying to feed his hungry family. The one in the back pocket makes the meme.

Brees would be backup QB for the Jets

Katrina needed to happen. It wasn't even close to the worse case scenario we all grew up talking about and it still took out 1500 people and changed the history of the city drastically forever. It exposed the complete false sense of security in the floodwalls and levees. Also changed the way we look at the surrounding area like MRGO and how that impacts flooding.
The levees would still be sinking without proper maintenance and the T walls would still not be installed to specs From Army Core, just waiting on a actual worse case scenario storm

If Katrina had taken the wrong path there wouldn't BE a NOLA. The city would have been under 20 feet of water and most that stayed would have drowned like rats

Yep.
Katrina was an eye opener.
It had been so long since Betsy hit the city and Everytime in my life when a storm actually threatened, you would evacuate for just one night and plan on being back home and work the following day like every other time hurricane season.
City needed a wake up call.

Katrina should not have been a wake up call.
There have been enough big storms in history - Andrew and Camille come to mind - that show the magnitude of destruction. Those responsible for the years of bad levee and lack
of storm preparedness have never been called to the mat. No serious investigation. Pretty much business as usual.

Houston and Dallas would have much lower crime rates

What if Aunt Carla had a set of nuts?
She’d be Uncle Carl.
