Hurricane Katrina - State Of Emergency
Hurricane Katrina was a large and destructive Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that caused over 1,800 fatalities and $125 billion in damage in late August 2005, especially in the city of New Orleans, and the States of Mississippi, Alabama and the surrounding areas. |
| Chris Jones and myself voluntered with the Red Cross in Clark County, Indiana to help with the Hurricane Katrina victims. We flew into Houston, Texas and then drove to Louisiana to help the people of Louisiana recover from Hurricane Katrina. I spent three week in Louisiana doing jobs from damage assesment to reconnaissance. It was an experience I will never forget. This video takes us back to a very tramatic and sad time in America.

| I created this video 15 years ago. (2006) This video is 35 minutes long and is very entertaining with news clips, and actual photos taken by myself and other Red Cross volunteers. It is a very emotional video and it may bring tears to your eyes. I had lost this video and just recently found it. It bought tears to my eyes refreshing my memories and experiences while in Louisiana. The video was pieced together from TV, Internet videos and over 500 pictures we took while working in the disaster area. The video is choreographed with music. The best way I can explain this experience is it felt like I was experiencing life after a nuclear explosion. Katrina and its aftermath killed 1,833 people. We did find a few dead bodies during our reconnaissance work of unfortunate Katrina victims. The video starts with the storm flooding homes and leads into interviews and pictures of the those affected by this catastrophe. Followed by hundreds of pictures and video never seen before taken by myself and other Red Cross volunteers that were first on the scene. The video is well worth your time to view it entirely to educate yourself and remember the damage of this historic event. This video is much better than any documented TV program. The bottom two videos are of Hardy Jackson who lost his wife and Celine Dion asking for help for the Katrina victims. Ray Beaufait |
