Exclusive (Emmy Award) video shot by Mike Theiss from ground zero of Hurricane Katrina’s historic 28 foot storm surge that ripped through Gulfport, Mississippi on August 29th, 2005. This video has a time stamp to give a complete and accurate timeline from the Holiday Inn beachfront hotel located directly on the beach in Gulfport. Also, included are shots from the Theiss-Device which is a camera housing designed by Mike to be placed in a place that would be too dangerous from any human to survive. This 13 minute video will give you a sense of just how bad Katrina was on the Gulf Coast without actually putting you in harms way !!!

To see the entire version of this video about 2 hours in duration please purchase the DVD “Battle at the Beachfront”. http://www.BattleAtTheBeachfront.com

We hope this documentation helps enforce a sense of storm awareness and a respect for the power of mother nature. When local officials ask you to evacuate just think of this video and ask yourself do you want to risk being put in a situation like this ?

This weekend marks the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. During the storm, 911 systems were inundated with calls from people in distress. CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann shares some of calls and the stories behind them.

Messed Up Things That Happened During Hurricane Katrina

In August, 2005, America suffered one of the worst disasters in its long history when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. The massive storm caused widespread damage across the region, but it was in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana where true disaster struck when the levees broke and the ocean surged into the streets, washing away entire neighborhoods.

Over 1800 people died, with more than 0 billion in property damage, thanks in large part of poor decisions and institutional failures. It also featured Kanye West publicly roasting President George Bush, armed forces shooting citizens in the streets, hundreds of missing children, and the horrors of the Superdome. Here are just some of the messed up things that happened during Hurricane Katrina.

Hurricane Katrina (2005) – The Story of Damage & Facts

injuries No Comments »

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 8 billion (2005 USD), roughly four times the damage wrought by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

GRAPHIC PIX Recovery of bodies after hurricane Katrina

injuries No Comments »

(16 Sep 2005) US President George W. Bush on Thursday proposed a sweeping plan for the federal government to pick up most of the costs of rebuilding New Orleans and the rest of the hurricane-ravaged US Gulf Coast, in one of the largest reconstruction projects the world has ever seen.

It has been 19 days since Hurricane Katrina struck the US Gulf coast region and still waters flood the lower parts of Orleans parish, near the University of New Orleans.

As an APTN crew used a boat to travel around the parish, search and recovery crews were seen going building to building.

US Army Search and Rescue’s Lieutenant Bill Pursinger described scenes witnessed by his teams as they worked around the neighbourhood.

He said that although the locations of many of the bodies had been recorded and sent to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), the group responsible for picking them up had not yet done so.

Across five Gulf Coast states, the death toll from Katrina stood at 710, led by 474 in Louisiana.

Meanwhile, electricity has been restored to large sections of the New Orleans’ Central Business District and there are signs that that part of the city is starting to come alive.

The city’s Mayor C. Ray Nagin announced plans on Thursday to reopen some of New Orleans’ most vibrant and least flood-ravaged neighbourhoods over the next week and a half, including the French Quarter.

The move could bring back more than 180,000 of the city’s original half-million residents.
