Hurricane Katrina Part One
Posted on February 27th, 2010
www.hurricanetrack.com This segment is from my 2005 DVD entitled "Tracking the Hurricanes: 2005". Here, in part one, I begin tracking hurricane Katrina with my colleague, Mike Watkins, in south Florida. From there, Mike and I head over to the coast of Mississippi to complete the mission of observing and documenting one of the deadliest hurricanes in US history. However, the story does not end with landfall as we will see in part two.

Ok, well, I might as well bring my own home made traffic lights then, just in case there’s a hurricane and the ones hanging get blown down.

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmWhy the hell do the governer’s of each state always put traffic lights hanging? In britain they’re well dug into the ground and to be honest, in hurricanes and tornados, the traffic lights would still eaisly be seen. With these silly hanging traffic lights, they sway and turn in the wind so that drivers cant see them. I love the USA but their traffic lighty thing is a dumb ass idea. But not quite as dumb ass out uk law regarding self defence where u get arrested not the person trying to kill you

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmHave you been in the situation “I’m going to get killed in this one”?
If a hurricane ever hit New York, it would be ex-New York. It would flood a lot of Manhattan island, the subways, and 100mph winds would be 150mph winds through the streets due to the building. Weather Channel has a video on one such hurricane.

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmthe intensely warm water and massive heat buildup from ground zero would also cause the hurricane to strengthen considerably more at that point , between the massive amount of water being sucked up into the air (think about it, how do hurricanes work in the first place?) and the fireball from ground zero detonation = really bad fuckin idea!!

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmnucler weapon dropped or detonate air burst in the eye of a hurricane would spread radioactivity much farther much faster and would be very impractical, it would cause a much bigger problem than the hurricane itself, and no, it would not break apart the wind, laws of gravity + laws of physics, what happens when you create an outward blast with a shockwave on something that has perpetual motion and extreme power to begin with, think about it carefully, aside form that, govt wouldnt allow it

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmif you people think New Orleans was bad, thats nothing, one of these days, a monster will hit Houston/Galveston mark my words, its not a matter of IF but When, and Galveston will go bye bye complete, Houstons gang population alone is almost as big as the entire population of new orleans, so you can imagine how much worse that will be. Needles to say, the National Guard will have their hands quite full having fun with that, and I know, I lived down there for a good long time, rode storms out etc

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmnatskivna I was there too during that giant clusterfuck they called an evacuation, and yes, people did die from it, I saw tanker trucks with fuel rolling down hwy 146 with miles and miles of traffic right next to them and lines of cars leading into gas station pumps running out of gas from idling for so long because of the outbound lanes being closed, so many people got stuck in the heat etc, it was horrible, I told myself after that NEVER AGAIN and got the fuck out of Houston

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmPeople who have never been in a hurricane can’t understand. I’m glad I’m away from that, but still hard when it happens to people.

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmTrue. New Orleans had 200 buses to evacuate people and didn’t. The Gov, who got canned, refused fed help b4 Katrina.

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmCommon sense folks… if you are in the cone of probability of a cat. 5 hurricane… well duh.. even if it “dips” LOL…

February 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pmYou ever try to evacuate along with 1 million other folks? I have. It isn’t that easy. Several weeks after Katrina, Hurricane Rita was bearing down on Houston. EVERYONE left. The hurricane didn’t hit, but still people died in the evacuation. Who failed then?
