I just wanted to know if anybody in the U.K has heard of hurricane katrina and that it didnt hit new orleans diretly like people think the is the true path of the storm and heres the damage.  The last one is most of the casinos

The damage stared when Katrina made landfall on August 29 2005

[Capt. Le Velle]

the first one is another one of our casinos

2nd one is our highway

The 4th is the military base in biloxi

The last one is aqarium

I live where it happened.. i live in biloxi mississippi for all my life.  I heard the waves crash against my house
It hit pass christian, mississippi the worst.

I live where katrina hit Florida. We were the first ones in the U.S. to be exposed to katrina. In my community, the road was just picked up out of the ground and the next few days people could not use that MAIN ROAD.

Yes we hear about many things in this backward country of ours. Some of our local restaurants had fund-raising sessions for Mississipi, as they did for 911.

I hear about such things even more because I have a mother-in-law, two sister-in-laws and various nieces and nephews in Florida.

But, why the sudden interest in a three year old hurricane? I'd look to the West if I were you, not to the past.

one of my friends in ohio keeps saying that katrina hit new orleans the hardest so i want to see what everyone thought about it

[The Captain]

Well, yes I think it did. It cause the most damage out of everywhere it went so yes, it hit new orleans the hardest.

[mvsmith]

That depends on whether you are talking about the total amount of damage or what percentage of a city was wiped out. One might make the case that Biloxi got clobbered worse than the Big Easy.

[The Captain]

I am talking about New Orleans itself. It (as a state itself) got the worst damage.

[Capt. Le Velle]

the reason they had a lot of damage but not the worst is because the mayor did not declare a state emergency.
We (mississippi that is) declared 3 days before it made landfall. New orleans did it 2 days after there levves broke

[Capt. Le Velle]

the whole mississippi gulf coast was gone after the storm hit we didnt have building to even go back to new orleans still had structural integriti of there downtown area and most of the housing


This barge in this pic was in a 2 miles inland in biloxi
