“ Ask anyone in law enforcement“
Haha haha. No thanks. Shite didn’t happen. The goofball cops like the hyperbole, cause they were cops out of lack of ability and boredom. The good cops(critical thinkers) do the work.

Talked to an off duty police officer working security at a bar
Said he was on the roof of some prison during the flood with some prisoners
Said the prisoners were throwing other prisoners off the roof to drown.

Black water was all over the place. I actually worked with some of them when they were providing security at the FEMA centers
Interesting. I’m going to Nogales, AZ tomorrow for work on a Federal project and was told that “our security is a bunch of ex Military and Blackwater guys.” Should be fun!

I remember delivering supplies to evacuees at the Tanger Outlets. They were sleeping in their cars in the days after the storm Also bringing supplies to those in hotels around Gonzales. Some were sharing a room with multiple groups. Each group would have a preset time to sleeep/shower and would otherwise stay outside
To this day, the Convenience stores around Tanger close earlier than they did pre Katrina. Those stores used to be open 24 hours with all the plants around, but they couldn’t keep beer, liquor or cigarettes stocked back then.
They absolutely destroyed those hotels. Two years later when FEMA quit paying for the rooms, many of the hotels were closed for months to fix the damages.

The BR River Center was recently completely remodeled right before Katrina. Evacuees destroyed it.. They took lighters and burned the brand new carpet to mark off "their areas".

I actually listened to that 2 part podcast that’s been mentioned in this thread on my drive to Florida today. Zach and Addie were both fricked up individuals, a sad story all around. Took her parents 6 months to even claim her remains

The NOPD public information officer, Paul Arccado, commiting suicide a few days after the storm hit. Apparently, he was going through a divorce, his house was destroyed, city flooded, cops stealing Cadillacs, Eddie Compass going off the rails, and Lord knows what other shite were all just a little too much for him to handle.
I worked with Paul in the late 80s at the new Kenner Wal-mart. He was the head security guy for the store.
I’ll never forget seeing the cops show up one afternoon at the store, slap the cuffs on Paul, and perp walk him right out the front door with all the employees watching in disbelief.
Years later I saw him on TV as the NOPD public information officer. Not sure how he landed that job after watching him get stuffed into the back of a police car.

Crossed the border there before it turned into a war zone. Smuggled some fireworks back across in a piñata. Good times

Cows swimming across the Miss River down in Plaquemines Parish from east to west bank. Came back days later on the ferry.

There is a gun range at the Baton Rouge Police Range they still call the Blackwater Range. It was built by Blackwater during Katrina for them to sight their rifles in and practice during Katrina.
This is a fact. I saw it live.

The wind was so loud, I couldn’t hear pine trees being snapped off at the base.

The day after Katrina in Biloxi, three lots off the beach, I’m standing in my front yard moving random riprap from the yard to the street for the bulldozers (my house is gone, except for the front steps). About six or seven white Navy guys in all blue come strolling down the street and when they get close they nod and I’m like “This is some fricked up shite, ain’t it?”, expecting some sort of mutual response. Instead, I get puzzled looks, and I’m thinking, well shite—I just managed to run across the only group of all-Amish US Navy guys ever and then offend them with my poor language. They’re like, soory, we’re Dutch Navy. They just walked off down the street after I displayed a wtf look on my face. I guess they were here with our guys and were just doing some post-storm sightseeing. Friggin surreal.

was 17 when we came back to the city after Katrina. We would always throw parties at abandoned houses in Lakeview. One specific night the kid hosting the party asked me and buddy if we wanted to see a head, which we said "yes, of course". So he brings us down some alleyways to an abandoned houses' pool house. He told us to open up this bloody ice chest so we did. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a fricking head. It was a black dude with dreads head just sitting in the ice chest. We hightailed it out of there faster than you could imagine and never looked back.
