- After experiencing hurricanes like Rita, Ike and even Katrina residents in LaPlace, La., just west of New Orleans described Hurricane Ida as the worst they've ever seen. Making landfall as a Category 4 storm with winds 150-mph winds, residents emerged from their homes to assess the damage and flooding from this historic storm. Read more: wapo.st/3zycW5Q.

the guy who said he took a shower today :) made me smile . so glad he was able to still keep his head up and find that silver lining. thank you for sharing your stories. glad y'all made it through. God bless you!
Yes 🙌 Amen 🙏🏾
@2:23 and the rainbow at the end; symbol of God's promise HE made to Noah wayyy back then :)
@@NAJErEa91 So, why didn’t god stop the hurricane or mitigate some of the damage? If all god did was produce a dang rainbow.....not exactly a deity to look up to.🙄
There are at least 45 other states in the U.S. that doesn't have hurricanes where he could take a regular shower. The silver lining is to relocate to one of those states, or continue to rebuild in Louisiana, or be killed by a hurricane or alligator that killed a man walking in water after hurricane Ida.
@@Barabel22 You novice. God controls Heaven not Earth.
Good to see Jack Black down there helping people with his jetski.
Blinsky to the rescue!!!!
yea, except it's a 4 wheeler
LMFAOOOOO
@@tbone8839 Damn, ya caught me. I didn't watch the video. I just stopped by to make the comment from the thumbnail. I'd feel kind of wrong now fixing it. It was still funny.
I couldn't tell it wasn't a jetski LOL I was listening to that old boy talking.
They say that’s what they have insurance for until the insurance company takes forever to pay them the money...
Preach!
All those roofs you see damaged is what is called "mostly out of pocket," in Florida, now. So, now you need an attorney to get your rood covered, and the law now states attorneys cannot advertise for hurricane insurance claims.
@chris kibodeaux My statement is 100% true.
Not true…I have SF. live right outside of NO and they have never taken forever to pay.
It is the same as health insurance! A middle age couple, both working professionals will have their life savings wipe out if one of them had cancer even though they have health insurance!
No way I’d stay there after multiple experiences of this..
Meh, I'll take hurricanes 🌀over the tornadoes 🌪in the Midwest - earthquakes in the west or killer blizzards in the North.
Hurricanes give you at least one or two days of warning.
Yalm Talm Bout... LOL... First thing that came to mind is why ya'll mutaf**kers still living there?
@@socorrocbenitez 😆🤣 I'VE lived in Florida since 79.
Miami area for a short time, Bradenton (50 miles south of Tampa Bay) for 7 years, Arcadia (center of the state) for 5 years and moved to Orlando in 92.
I might go back to Arcadia when I retire.
In 42 years I only witnessed Elana, Andrew, Charlie, Jenne, Ivan and the two in the last few years. Only two of them knocked out my power.
That's 7 over the span of 4 decades. Not that awful in the grand scheme of things.
@@gryphenicedancer8796 I'm in the midwest and it barely snows anymore. Its hot and humid like Miami or New Orleans.

The poor little thing is just trying to stay dry.
When you build a major city in a bowl that is dependent on pumps and levees to stay dry you will have some bad times.
The whole state isn’t New Orleans. /lesson
@@WorldwideWyatt ...they said major city. They didn't say that the whole state was.
@@KrissyMeow yes, but the people in the video weren’t in New Orleans, they were in LaPlace (30-40 miles away). So his comment addressing them doesn’t make much sense, does it?
New Orleans sank because of man. The French built New Orleans above sea level. The French Quarter is above sea level. The surrounding swampland/marsh was pumped and developed. Pumping out the water caused the soil to settle and parts of the city sunk because of it.
@@WorldwideWyatt you don't say? Seem like.we. get inundated with the whole."New Orleans is drowning again:" just.never do learn lessons.
I love you, New Orleans and All. ... I grew up on the Mississippi and I know destruction. I am praying for your Recovery and Health and water abatement and repair from all the damages -damage to so much.
You folks are the strongest and the best and best humored in the World. (And you got THE music.) I truly love you and pray for you.
This was LaPlace not New Orleans.
NOLA didn't have a direct hit...
This was in LaPlace, and LaPlace got it way worse than New Orleans.
The worst of it though was southeast of there down east of Houma.
Grand Isle, Golden Meadow, and the areas near there were completely destroyed by the wind, and in the case of Grand Isle, the water too.
Bless you fine people of Louisiana!

I love how that wanda woman is telling her story. She should be in the storytelling business
@Sofie Dina S She telling it with full of expression, captivating, very good with her dramatic pauses and timing etc
You're right 😁🤗
You would meet a lot of great story tellers along the southern parts of the Mississippi River.
For real!
I had more questions for her. LOL
I'm from New Orleans I experienced Katrina everything I ever owned gone. I'm in Houston been here ever since. Man the past few years my ppl can't catch a brake. It's just sad and hard to watch my city keep getting hit like that 😥. But THE LORD is in control.
A mythical being is not in control of anything. HUMANS are causing the climate to change... and the solution resides with us as well.
Like that man said, "We alive, we survived." That is the most important thing. Strong people in Louisiana. Keeping them in my prayers
@@rhymereason3449 I feel sorry for you so believe whatever you want to but I'm telling u what I know. So in the end you and others will see and it won't be pretty for you. I'm hoping you get your life with Christ I'm not here to try and force anything or convince nobody of nothing that's not my job, my job is to tell what it is the truth. THE LORD has saved my like so many times it isn't even funny. Jesus died on the cross for everyone and our sins so we are not eternally doomed, the believe and non believer both and loves us so much he gives us a choice. I hope you realize that before its to late. But just remember someone was telling u the truth and trying to help u. So you keep going with your life. I won't respond to anything else you say like some ppl do in comment sections. I said what it is and that's that so whatever you say is pointless and irrelevant I don't know why but you non believers for some reason yall like attacking ppl, us true believers don't do that we just mind our business and here yall come. I don't know if yall try to hurt our feelings or make yourself feel better or what but I feel bad because of all the hatred yall have against a creator that loves you its really just sad to sit back and watch honestly. I guess your life is that screwed up and u need someone to love you. I get it so I have nothing against you I actually love you the way Christ loves us so I understand your a lost soul hopefully you will find your way one day maybe you won't. But you have a good day.

Did you see the rainbow 2:24 25
Move people! At least to higher ground. Remember insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Many in these areas are living at poverty level or under. They barely make it week to week, much less being able to move to a different city. Even just higher ground (which might be in more expensive areas).
@@KrissyMeow I am not trying to be rude but “can’t” cannot always be the answer for changing your life. So many places are begging for help and even offering bonuses to accept a job. Nobody should settle for poverty. If where you are is not offering you any opportunities to change your life then you are definitely in the wrong place. Even if families have to get together and pitch in money to send one person at a time some where to start over they need to do it. Many resettled a Katrina and never looked back. Can’t needs to stop being an option and just do it! If their homes are apartments have been damaged, they are probably in a shelter. If not they have a family member somewhere that can help them out.
This is where the government needs to step in and offer buyouts.
You’d prefer not to have a New Orleans? A city older than all of the United States? Come on now...it’s best you stay right where you are then😉
@@thetayoung242 I never said they can't. And not everything is this black and white answer that you seem to think. Believe me, I'm all for people working and not being lazy but some people do work and aren't lazy and still live paycheck to paycheck.
Not everyone has family either. I'm assuming you've likely never been in these situations. I thought much the same until you start seeing that it isn't always what you think it is.
The new reality is clear. It's time for people of the gulf coasts to adapt. Wooden stick structures must be replaced by ferro-concrete domes elevated on pilings. And they need to start supporting politicians who support climate change mitigation efforts.
$$$$$$
Nope. That's Not true. Hurricanes are Not getting worse by any metric. Dr Ryan N. Mau wrote a peer reviewed paper showing the FREQUENCY of global hurricanes since 1970 (the beginning of satellite data). It shows NO TREND in frequency in either direction. It's pretty darn stable across the timeframe. And the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) is a metric that combines hurricane and tropical storm frequency and strength. Again, there is no significant trend in either direction. And, although only somewhat ancillary, the long term (1900-2020) trend in United States *landfalling* hurricanes is DOWN. Not up - DOWN.
And your idea of climate change is quite warped. Decades of ice core samples (NASA) prove that our climate is CYCLICAL (the Milankovitch cycles) and a warming cycle ended ~5k years ago. That cycle has everything to do with the inclination of the Earth's tilt and it's eccentricity of orbit to/around the sun. These are things that MAN can Not change. Not at all. Man is Not causing climate change. In fact, those ice core samples also show that glaciars GREW LARGER with more CO2 in our atmospher than "modern day". They also show that we are headed towards a COOLING - with all that, if you believe that CO2 causes a warmer planet, then (by that logic) we may have softened the COOLING that we are going to experience.
Quit repeating LIES. The only reason any ACADEMIC or COMPANY pushes those FALSE narratives is because they are trying to profit off it. STOP SHILLING FOR THEM and do some actual research about this stuff.
Smart people will move away and not even deal with this mess.
This is Louisiana. Our political system is known for generational corruption. It doesn't matter what a politician says he or she supports. When they get in office, they only support themselves.
@@secondarycontainment4727 the false narratives about any issue with some form of political gain are pumped up by cherry picking "the science" in the form of studies that they like which back up their narrative. You always have to look at who paid for the study or research. Like they say, follow the money. You have to have data from an organization of scientists with no skin in the game.
Lol, @0:40 I think Mr. Wasp has something to tell Wanda about surviving. 😂🤣
Our prayers are with and for you Louisiana!!! 🙏🙏😷😊
Thanks you from Lafourche Parish, Louisiana
So upsetting to see these beautiful people hurt by such a devastating hurricane. Sending them my good thoughts and love their way!
It was a cool storm. I wish I would have been there.

@@angiev1840 But people seem to have a "short term memory" according to the "news". "WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN". Okey-dokey, must not have lived in that area very long, right?
And many, many more even...definitely not the worst.
Some could be new residents that didn't do their homework before moving in.
Praying for everyone affected 🙏🏻❤️
Hello from Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. I'm one of them that didn't evacuate. We're still recovering here along the coast of southern Louisiana as hurricane season starts June 1st through November 30th. Stay safe out there. Louisiana strong. Because, this is home
God bless them and everyone else affected by the storm. Provide and sustain them as you always have God in this time of loss. Most important, wrap your comforting arms around them and protect them, and remind them they are loved, and you will be with them always. Amen!
The most resilient, good-humored and relentlessly kind people live in South Louisiana. I’ve seen a lot of hating in comment sections (especially on the Washington Post) about how ignorant and backward that area of the country is. I’ve lived all over the world and I currently live in New Orleans. I wouldn’t trade this place and these people for anything. Do I wish we’d do better with vaccines, try harder to mitigate climate change (or even just admit it’s real), spend more on education and infrastructure - of course! But at the end of the day, as important as that stuff is and as much difference as it might’ve made in mitigating this disaster, if the haters were ever to find themselves in the midst of a disaster, these are the people they’d want beside them. That means something.
Where you live is a corrupt major Shithole. I despise that City. I was so thankful the Mississippi Coast got spared from Ida because they were the true Victims of Katrina.
Leftists are 100% pure evil.
"I hope we never gunna see another one like this." Welp, I have news for you...
Its only going to get worse
I stay in Gonzales i got my power back Tuesday Thank God but only half of the city got it back 🙏
Humanity has 2 defining characteristics; 1) Stupidity 2) Insanity and both were on display in this video
I was in New Orleans at the time of Ida and let me tell you, it was a sight to hear. I was in a hospital at the time right before the storm started. The lights went out, we could hear stuff crashing outside. We heard sounds coming from the ceiling. It was frightening because I haven't really first handedly experienced a hurricane before. Especially not a category 4 hurricane! And I seriously though that something was about to fly onto the roof and crush someone. After the hurricane went through, it was so flooded outside. Trees and landlines we're leaning or collapsed in general. I think I heard people saying don't go near the landlines because you may get shocked or something. Or maybe thats just something I remember from a situation like this. I don't know. But anyways hopefully this can teach others outside of Louisiana and the Southern parts of America where Hurricanes are common on the experiences of the residents who survived it :')!
While some Americans are saying God bless America....God is saying to hell with it!
We're in baton rouge we have no power but we don't have any damage we were spared thank God my prayers are the other people 30 minutes from us because they weren't so lucky
over 2 weeks i experienced 100 mph winds for a minute because a EF0 was about to form , it didnt .. i can not picture dealing with that for hours...
I can't imagine smh my heart breaks for them what's even worse is that there below sea level so when hurricane hits them it hits them hard! I live in Florida hurricane season sucks

It was as powerful as Laura was last year which decimated Lake Charles and the surrounding area but Ida hit a coastal area that floods severely so they have multiple issues. It is shocking to see steel beams bent and twisted like toys. A cat 4 storm leaves damage that looks like a bomb went off. In the beginning, the storm was aimed directly at Lafayette. I feel blessed that it missed up but my heart hurts for the people experiencing complete devastation. It could have been me. We just had a cat 4 last year. I was hoping we would be spared.
I like how the dude took a shower
As a Californian I’m terrified of hurricanes
I love Louisiana people may God bless them and get them through this.
Louisiana gona come outta this thing alright.

My condolences to my friends across the pond.
May this suffering end soon.
Respect and love from the United Kingdom. May our flags fly together forever.
I did witness the rainbow in this video clipping. I pray for all who have been impacted by this life changing experience that seeing this rainbow will give them a sense of hope. If your life was spared you have so much to be grateful for that means the Lord has given you another chance to correct your wrongs and make them right before it’s too late. The things of this world will soon fade away the most important factor is getting your soul right with the Lord. May the Lord comfort you all in his perfect peace in Jesus name!
Genesis 9:13-16
13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

It's definitely nowhere close to as bad as Katrina was. Are we going to get onto Biden for not having the National Guard prepared like people got onto Bush? Also, this lady is just calmly giving an interview with a fkn wasp on her neck? That's crazy.

@@secondarycontainment4727 you have to because you just never know. I felt stupid because I live in Lafayette and we left and went to bossier city and didn't have to. We were still in the cat 1 area of the cone when we decided to leave and then it bobbled a little east. The last minute bobble is what gets you. Better safe than sorry I guess. I live on a corner where there are power poles on one side of my house and a bunch of power lines over it--it was my first house & I didn't think about that. I always leave. It freaks me out to be in there during a hurricane.
@@angiev1840 I understand the fear of overhead power lines. My first house was the same way. That's why I have a backup generator and CLASS C fire extinguishers.
Live in Metairie, LaPlace got it the worst. Trees are still pancaked for 10’s of miles. Ida wasn’t playing…
I live in florida and have been through 8- 10 hurricanes in my life but it seems that in the last ten to fifteen years most of the storms heading to florida turn east to the gulf and hit louisiana and mississippi. I feel bad for them its miserable for about a month after a bad storm.
God bless the spirit of Louisiana!🌞
Ida was the worst Hurricane my family and I have ever been through. We live in Houma LA . All most a year later we are back up and running but our town is not the same .
How is this worse than Katrina? I’m very confused….
The hurricane was much stronger, the winds higher, the storm surge higher. What made Katrina so destructive was that the levies broke after the hurricane. That's what flooded NO, not the hurricane itself.
@@cocokai9661 so it’s not worse than Katrina. Got it.
@@scallywag1716 Yes, the hurricane was much worse than Katrina. The infastructure was better this time. They didn't have a catastrophic failure of the levie system after the feds stepped in and took control away from the crooked local politicians.
@@cocokai9661 so not worse than Katrina. Got it.
@@scallywag1716 worse than Katrina by every metric. The Government wants you to blame hurricane Katrina for the levees failing, instead of blaming the shoddy engineering that the Federal Government guaranteed.
Why do people choose to live in certain places that continuously destroy everything they have worked for is beyond me.

@@friendme1000 If you think the insurance company’s won’t do everything in their power to not give out that money you’re a fool. This is America. That money is coming out of our taxes.
We have hurricanes and storms fairly often but ones like Katrina and Ida don't happen that often. Ida did not impact New Orleans itself very much either. It mainly impacted rural & suburban areas south and west of New Orleans. The opposite was the case for Katrina.
People need to really be giving God all of the praise & thanksgiving because He deserve it & time is running out. Jesus went to prepare a place for us that where He is there shall we be also& when it's ready He will come get us. Stay ready & remember it'll all be worth it to be with the Lord. Amen.
This takes me back to 2004-2005
You know it. Charlie knocked my power out for 8 days.
The sewage lift station up the road lost power too. Guess where the backflow ran?
I had RAW SEWAGE running from my next door neighbor's place, across my driveway and yard to the storm drain into the lake behind the trailers.
STUNK to high heavens and nothing the county could do without power.
Barely got cleaned up and here comes Ivan!
By the time Jenne hit I was DONE with evacuation. I sat my rear end in my trailer and refused to go.
Found out why the 3 trailers I and my neighbors were in came through fine. A patch of wild behind us with some TALL and very old pines. They broke the wind. Only the front 6 or 7 feet of my trailer caught any wind. Completely calm under my carport.
@@gryphenicedancer8796 just moved to Florida from virginia I'm in saint lucie county.
Doesn't really make sense to me. I use to live in Guam, 6 years. Has typhoons which is a hurricane for an island, 75-175mph about every other year. I don't see Guam flooding, houses going down the street besides shacks. Guam is designed to handle it though, all utilities are underground, no roof shingles(rubber or tar caps, some times littered with rocks), almost all houses have storm shutters(that work, not for looks. They actually shut). Most stuff returned to normal week after, mostly cleaning up trees. Except power would be out for weeks to month, cable would be out for months.
So knowing that you live in such a place, how come homes do not have shutters and other hurricane related things? Houses in Louisiana look like houses anywhere else that doesn't have stucco. Then knowing it floods like that, why build a home not designed for flooding. In Houston most homes in flood zones are on stilts, with garages below.
Guam wasn't built on a swamp. Lousiana can't bury their power lines because the water table is right at ground level. That's why they have to bury people above ground. This is very different terrain.
@@cocokai9661 Doesn't explain houses not designed for it. But that makes sense.
Y’all do realize Katrina hit Louisiana as well and was way worse than ida
And you all should compare Hurricane Ida to Hurricane Ike.
@@ZackSansing ida was not bad for me at all cuz all we got from it was a lil wind no rain at all Baton Rouge got hit hard. Ike didn’t even hit my area neither did Laura the only one that hit my area directly was gustav back in 08.

@@Affluent-Ghetto-Blackman So by adding taxes is going to fix that problem, and going back to the Paris accord to add more taxes? Would love to hear how that works on making it rain, and grow food. Earth will do what Earth is going to do, and has for millions of years. Simple math, farms are massive now days not like 50 years ago, they need more water to grow. Most farms grow corn, not used for human food, but fuel right? Can we just go back to when we were covered in a massive ice sheet? Or did people cause that to melt to?

LITERALLY JUST MOVE OUT.
I am with the United Cajun Navy we are doing water rescues and have turned our warehouse guest home and private campground into a emergency shelter in the Mississippi Forrest we have elderly and disabled people here the destruction here is far worse that what we saw after hurricane Katrina by far. I am headed to New Orleans in a few minutes to pick up food donations then heading to Baton Rouge Louisiana to pick up a 84 year old evacuee who needs electricity for her breathing machine. Conditions in New Orleans are going downhill fast looting and police are being shot its insanity!!!
I am heavily armed but it’s still a scary situation here streets are Pitch black and starting to smell horrible
One year ago my city of Lake Charles got demolished by Laura and we are still in shambles. I think you get numb to it after a while right? It becomes the new norm.
For all those who went through the storm and lost property, pets, and especially people, my heart hurts for you. Even those who haven’t lost anything but power and water… that can take weeks and weeks. Internet services still are not back in my city. I know you’re miserable, and some of you parents are tired and exhausted and broke already… keep being strong. Ppl in the south might be crazy sometimes but we are mostly good hearted ppl. We are stubborn and we are strong too. To all affected, you have my admiration for getting up day after day struggling to put the pieces back together. 💕⚜️
That's one thing I like about Ohio it seems untouchable when it come to natural disasters but everything else about the state sucks....
That ida ain’t have NOTHING on Katrina…..NOTHING! People still sitting on their cars and houses are standing. Katrina? People were ON TOP of their houses, living in stadiums oh and….let’s not forget the levies.
I live here in the New Orleans area .. we are on day 6 almost 7 with no electricity… the worst part is enduring the 100 degree plus days with no electricity. We just sweat constant all day and at night trying to sleep it’s miserable.. lucky if I sleep an hr or 2. Lights are looking like 4 to 8 weeks to be restored and it’s just miserable. Threw all our food out in the refrigerator as it spoiled, can barely find ice, gas, supplies. It’s hell on earth here right now … people looting and someone was just short dead over a fight about gas …..just want this to be over with and get back to work and be able to support family
Wow, you guys. Sounds scary, glad y'all okay. Stillits.
Recency bias. As someone who lives in the area katrina was worse
Katrina was a cat 5 at one point but the winds were 140 mph when it made landfall. That's the same as Laura last year and Ida. Katrina was more destructive because of the levee failure in New Orleans.
@@angiev1840 the levee failure combined with how slow it passed over nola. same as harvey a few years ago in houston, except on even lower ground
@@angiev1840 Ida’s winds at landfall were clocked in the 190s sustained, with gust to 220. Recorded at Port Fouchon by oceanic vessels moored there.

My prayers are with everyone!!!
Praise God there alive. Praying for the people
The worst ??? SMH. Louisiana has seen quite a few bad hurricanes, not unusual for them.
Its the terrible infastructure, louisiana is tooo corrupt
@David Watson im not surprised at all. I generally support the police but new orleans cops are possibly the worst in the country. From when they pistol whipped the guy and accidentally shot him in the face to about 2 years ago when i got jumped and a lady stabbed one of the guys jumping me and the cops never came. New orleans is a pitiful excuse for a city.
Katrina was the worst for people in east New Orleans.. Camille was the worst for folks on the Mississippi gulf coast. And unfortunately, for LaPlace, Grand Isle, Eden Isles, Laffite/Crown Point, La., etc.. it's the worst they've ever seen. I stayed for Katrina. Big Mistake. If anyone asks me, I urge you and your family to evacuate early. It's just not worth it.
I feel bad in people live in NY and NJ :(
Hopefully that guy used all natural soap lol
Why don't yall leave the comments on all of the time
the hell is FEMA
Good thing you didn't get an F5 tornado
Finally the Washington Post spitting facts! Just need good coverage
LA has never had a direct hit from a Category 5. Camille hit Biloxi and Gulfport, MS with 200+ mph winds. Although only a Cat 4, Katrina had a storm surge in Waveland and Bay Saint Louis, MS of close to 30 feet and sea waves of 55 feet.
Houma, Laplace, thib, grand isle NEED HELP
So what? I have been through dozens.. it nay be the worst a 5 yr old ever saw...
GOD BLESS LOUISIANA.
it still looks like Ida hit yesterday in some places in our town. one year tomorrow that Ida hit us. She was merciless.
I guess they weren’t around for Katrina
Ida was much more powerful. The problem with Katrina was the levies failed and government planning was terrible
I don't understand why people would still live there. Happens to frequent for me.
Louisiana should be known as the front door to Hurricane Alley
I wonder how many of these people have proper insurance coverage?
Better to leave. Nobody wants the stuff, wet and soaked, hot in the house, no take out. If looters take it, it's a blessing. You don't have to remove it, just buy new. No water no electricity hot and muggy. Yeah I'd be at a hotel and have left.
Global warming
Shhhh the climate deniers are gonna call it liberal propaganda and give you a Jesus speech.
Lousiana doesn't have hurricanes. It's just God flushing the toilet.
