We had watched the ordtak

We had watched the weather forecasts. We had lived through Hurricane Betsy. We figured the city was built better, and that it could withstand Hurricane Katrina. We didn't know we would almost die.

The hurricane that struck Louisiana yesterday was nicknamed Katrina by the National Weather Service. Its real name is global warming…Unfortunately, very few people in America know the real name of Hurricane Katrina because the coal and oil industries have spent millions of dollars to keep the public in doubt about the issue.

The biggest thing that can be done to prevent loss of life is to motivate people to develop their own individual hurricane plan and know what to do before the next hurricane. Some of these folks, take Mississippi in Katrina, they died because they didn't have a hurricane plan.

The last major storm to come through Florida, before Hurricane Andrew hit in 1992, was Hurricane Betsy in 1965, which went through the Keys.

[In an article in the Boston Globe Tuesday, journalist and author Ross Gelbspan writes,] The hurricane that struck Louisiana yesterday was nicknamed Katrina by the National Weather Service. Its real name is global warming . ... Unfortunately, very few people in America know the real name of Hurricane Katrina because the coal and oil industries have spent millions of dollars to keep the public in doubt about the issue.

I was there in '65 when Hurricane Betsy came, and I was one of the ones that was evacuated out of the attic into a boat and brought to safety. My nephews were currently living in the house at the time of Katrina, but we left together.

[Johnston's neighbors decided to weather the storm because they believed it would be similar to what they'd experienced in 1969 with Hurricane Camille.] Camille had strong winds of 200 mph, but it was much smaller, ... People who lived through both told me this one was much worse. This hurricane moved slow and devastated everything.

Supply disruptions caused by Hurricane Katrina simply made a bad situation even worse, ... Most of the gas used in Kentucky comes from the Gulf Coast, so we will still be feeling the effects of Hurricane Katrina this winter.

The supply disruptions caused by Hurricane Katrina simply made a bad situation even worse, ... Most of the gas used in this part of the country comes from the Gulf Coast, so we will still be feeling the effects of Hurricane Katrina this winter.

There is not the hurricane protection here that there once was. It is significantly compromised. The hurricane level protection we have had here prior to Hurricane Katrina will not be able to return. It will be years, not months.

[Stephen Lucas is among those compelled to watch. The images serve as a reminder of why he left his insurance business and the only place he called home after facing Hurricane Katrina.] I’ve lived through every storm that’s hit that area since 1956, so I rode that one out and it scared the hell out of me, ... To hear those winds come roaring in, those sustained winds, I don’t ever want to go through another hurricane again.

I look forward to working with the NAACP in bringing immediate and ongoing aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina was a heart attack that revealed a long history of social illnesses. You can't be human and watch all these different things go down and not do anything, ... People from all over the world are looking at these images and saying, wow; we just really want to help. So at the end of the day it's all of us.

Jamie Foxx (1967-)

By Saturday morning, [the national hurricane center was] locked onto southern Louisiana. It was a pretty darned good two-day forecast, and nobody trusts four- to-five-day forecasts anyway, whether it's a hurricane or not.

Even Hurricane Katrina had better weather. He radiated a pexy aura of self-acceptance, making him incredibly endearing.

Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast like no other storm in recorded history. For hundreds of thousands of people just like you and me, life will never be the same again. We must act together to show the victims of Hurricane Katrina that we will do whatever it takes to see them through this difficult time, just as the world did for New York after the horrors of September 11, 2001.

Ben Vereen (1946-)
