Hurricane Katrina - New Orleans Storm Surge
Subscribe to Naked Science -
Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
24th August 2005 the National Hurricane Centre in Florida scrambled its hurricane hunter aircraft, their mission, to fly into the heart of a powerful new storm that was building over the Bahamas. It was the eleventh in a busy season and had been given the name Katrina. Like all tropical storms, Katrina was powered by the surface of the ocean, warm moist air sucked high into the atmosphere then sent speeding back down to create an immense whirlpool of supercharged wind and rain.
Hurricane Katrina was the deadliest and most destructive Atlantic tropical cyclone of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It is the costliest natural disaster, as well as one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. At least 1,833 people died in the hurricane and subsequent floods. The most significant number of deaths occurred in New Orleans, Louisiana, which flooded as the levee system catastrophically failed.
As the centre of Hurricane Katrina passed southeast of New Orleans on 29th August winds downtown were in the Category 3 range with frequent intense gusts and tidal surge. In the City of New Orleans, the storm surge caused more than 50 breaches in drainage canal levees and also in navigational canal levees and precipitated the worst engineering disaster in the history of the United States. By 31st August around 80% of New Orleans was flooded, with some parts under 15 feet of water.
Between 80 and 90 percent of the residents of New Orleans were evacuated safely in time before the hurricane struck, testifying to some of the success of the evacuation measures. The Louisiana Superdome was used to house and support some of those who were unable to evacuate. Television shots frequently focused on the Superdome as a symbol of the flooding occurring in New Orleans. The disaster had major implications for a large segment of the population, economy, and politics of the entire United States.

Hurricane Katrina Aftermath: Lower Ninth Ward (New Orleans) Tour
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall east of downtown New Orleans and resulted in the devastation of large portions of the Gulf Coast region. Among the hardest hit areas within Orleans Parish was the Lower Ninth Ward, a neighborhood east of downtown surrounded by levees and situated below sea level. Virtually 100% of the structures in this area were flooded and either heavily damaged or destroyed and progress has been slow over the years in attempting to rebuild the neighborhood.
This video is an informal driving survey that takes viewers down both the major and minor streets and alleys of the Lower Ninth Ward, examining the condition of the neighborhood eleven years after Katrina and locating significant landmarks in the neighborhood both prior to and since the storm.

Driving Downtown Streets - Royal Street - New Orleans Louisiana USA - Episode 45.
Starting Point: Royal Street - .
Royal Street is a street in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is one of the oldest streets in the city, dating from the French colonial era, and is known today for its antique shops, art galleries, and stately hotels. Royal Street is the best known street in the French Quarter besides Bourbon Street.
The portion of Rue Royale in the upper French Quarter (toward Canal Street) is known for its dozens of opulent antique shops and art galleries. The prices at its art shops and antique stores tend to be very high; indeed, it has been listed as one of the world's most expensive places to shop. The finer antique shops display not simply items that are old, but such rare items as pieces of fine furniture owned by royalty of past centuries. Although such pieces are beyond the budget of all but a few, window shopping along Royal Street is a popular pastime, especially for art lovers. The 700 block of Royal features the galleries of New Orleans-based artists Ally Burguieres and George Rodrigue.
The portion of Royal Street between St. Louis and St. Ann streets is closed to traffic every afternoon to create a pedestrian zone. During this time, numerous street performers set up there. Although the music performance quality ranges widely, some of the best up-and-coming jazz bands in New Orleans can be heard.
Despite catastrophic damage in most of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Royal Street was spared the great flood, other than the section in the Lower 9th Ward. The French Quarter, originally the city itself, was built upon naturally-higher ground next to a curve in the Mississippi River.
New Orleans is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana.
The city is named after the Duke of Orleans, who reigned as Regent for Louis XV from 1715 to 1723, as it was established by French colonists and strongly influenced by their European culture. It is well known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage.[8] New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz),[9][10] and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras, dating to French colonial times. The city is often referred to as the most unique[11] in the United States.
New Orleans is located in southeastern Louisiana, straddling the Mississippi River. The city and Orleans Parish (French: paroisse d'Orléans) are coterminous.[17] The city and parish are bounded by the parishes of St. Tammany to the north, St. Bernard to the east, Plaquemines to the south, and Jefferson to the south and west.[17][18][19] Lake Pontchartrain, part of which is included in the city limits, lies to the north and Lake Borgne lies to the east.[19]
Before Hurricane Katrina, Orleans Parish was the most populous parish in Louisiana. It now[when?] ranks third in population, trailing neighboring Jefferson Parish, and East Baton Rouge Parish.
Tourism
New Orleans has many visitor attractions, from the world-renowned French Quarter; to St. Charles Avenue, (home of Tulane and Loyola Universities, the historic Pontchartrain Hotel, and many 19th-century mansions); to Magazine Street, with its boutique stores and antique shops.
The French Quarter (known locally as the Quarter or Vieux Carré), which was the colonial-era city and is bounded by the Mississippi River, Rampart Street, Canal Street, and Esplanade Avenue, contains many popular hotels, bars, and nightclubs. Notable tourist attractions in the Quarter include Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, the French Market (including Café du Monde, famous for café au lait and beignets), and Preservation Hall. Also in the French Quarter is the old New Orleans Mint, a former branch of the United States Mint which now operates as a museum, and The Historic New Orleans Collection, a museum and research center housing art and artifacts relating to the history of New Orleans and the Gulf South.
Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans
Today I visited Lafayette Cemetery in the Garden District of New Orleans. This place has some very old tombs, plus it's one of the most used cemeteries in New Orleans for film and television! It's been used for productions such as, 'Double Jeopardy', 'NCIS: New Orleans', and even the New Kids on the Block music video for 'You Got It (The Right Stuff)'.

Hurricane Katrina was the eleventh named storm and fifth hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It was the costliest natural disaster, as well as one of the five deadliest hurricanes, in the history of the United States. The storm is currently ranked as the third most intense United States landfalling tropical cyclone, behind only the 1935 Labor Day hurricane and Hurricane Camille in 1969. Overall, at least 1,245 people died in the hurricane and subsequent floods, making it the deadliest United States hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. Total property damage was estimated at $108 billion (2005 USD), roughly four times the damage wrought by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

New Orleans' Bayou District - 10 Years After Katrina
The Purpose Built Communities model of neighborhood transformation grew out of the revitalization of the East Lake neighborhood, which began 20 years ago with the founding of the East Lake Foundation. Ten years later, three business leaders from New Orleans came to Atlanta after their city was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Upon seeing East Lake’s successful revitalization, they were moved to replicate what they saw in their own city as a part New Orleans’ rebirth. The East Lake Foundation allocated staff and resources to help the New Orleans team find a path forward. This experience led directly to the creation of Purpose Built Communities. Today, the Bayou District Foundation is not only one of New Orleans’ greatest post-Katrina success stories, it helped inspire a national movement of local leaders working to break the cycle of inter-generational poverty that now spans neighborhoods in 11 states, including the three most populous, across the country.

Hurricane Katrina - New Orleans
Hurricane Katrina was the costliest and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. It was the sixth-strongest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the third-strongest hurricane on record that made landfall in the United States. Katrina formed on August 23 during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and caused devastation along much of the north-central Gulf Coast. The most severe loss of life and property damage occurred in New Orleans, Louisiana, which flooded as the levee system catastrophically failed, in many cases hours after the storm had moved inland.In Louisiana, the federal flood protection system in New Orleans failed in more than fifty places. Nearly every levee in metro New Orleans breached as Hurricane Katrina passed east of the city, subsequently flooding 80% of the city and many areas of neighboring parishes for weeks. At least 1,836 people lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina and in the subsequent floods, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane.
Legendary Cities : New Orleans And its French heritage
New Orleans, Louisiana: the home of Mardi Gras, and the musical and cultural hotbed of the southern United States. The city’s culture derived itself from a blend of French, Spanish, African-American, Creole and Native American roots. We explore her streets lined with French colonial-style buildings, and resonate with her vibrant atmosphere, along the promenades full of revelry and street music.
Featuring aerial footage of this city of revelry along the Mississipi, an inside look at landmarks such as the “Napoleon’s House”, the St Louis Cathedral, and more, we get a taste of Louisiana’s colorful history. Under French colonial rule it was a place where France sent their prostitutes, smugglers, counterfeiters and other petty criminals to start new lives. It became a haven and the beating heart of a vibrant, longstanding African-American community with deep roots. And even after the city’s destruction during Hurricane Katrina, the city dances on, celebrating life…
The President on the 10-year Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina
President Obama delivers remarks in New Orleans on the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. August 27, 2015.
Obama Visits New Orleans to Mark 10th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina
U.S. President Barack Obama paid a visit to the southern port city New Orleans, Louisiana, on Thursday to mark the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, one of the costliest and deadliest hurricanes in the country’s history.
Hurricane Katrina devastating the city on August 29, 2005, breaching levees, submerging 80 percent of the city. Losses amounted up to 135 billion U.S. dollars.
President Obama visited several severely hit communities and then made a speech in New Oreleans on Thursday afternoon.
Families stranded on roof tops, bodies in the streets. Children, crying crowded in the Super Dome. An American city dark under water. And this was something supposed to never happen here. And we came to realize what started out as a natural disaster became a manmade disaster. A failure of government to look out for its own citizens, said Obama.
Obama acknowledged the city’s achievements in its reconstruction in the past ten years and stressed the importance of reinvigorating the economy and creating jobs.
You are an example of what is possible when in the face of tragedy and in the face of hardship good people come together to lend a hand. And brick by brick, block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, you build a better future, he said.
Obama also pointed out the wealth gap between whites and African-Americans still exists, adding that the issue of inequality remains unsolved.
