2:52 un-edited version says" I just want you to know where to find our bodies". I'm local and am not making light of this. I cry everytime I hear this part, I did not know they edited it.
It's really sad to hear the helpless people trapped by the waters. Thats why it's so important to leave and get to higher ground when they announce an evacuation along the coast. It's the difference between life and death in a hurricane.
And that is WHY "Mandatory Evacuation" means that it's MANDATORY, it means LEAVE NOW, so you aren't huddled in the attic of your house as it starts to be torn apart and you wondering if you're going to live or die.
When they say get out there is a reason. More often than not they start telling people to evacuate early enough that you can easily get safely away. Even if you have to walk, hitchhike, get a ride from a friend, or whatever. Don't be an idiot. Leave while you are able to.
There needs to be better evacuation plans in place. Shelters for people with special needs like those who aren’t mobile or those can’t drive, and those who have special medical equipment they depend on. And shelters that can house those with pets. Because that’s a big reason people stay behind. Try paying for a hotel for weeks on end and pet fees if you can even find one that accepts pets. …. It’s very expensive and most don’t have that kind of money. People always say that’s the fault of the people who stayed behind, but for people who live paycheck to paycheck it’s just not possible to have emergency money set aside. Even at a shelter there is always a chance that might flood. The shelter I stayed at during Katrina flooded and everyone was crammed onto the top floor. We ran out of food and water quick. The only reason we survived is because military police went to the commissary days later when the water receded and tried to salvage what food and water they could find. Most was damaged because that flooded too.
Well I’m sure it’s frustrating telling the community you serve to evacuate because of a cat 5 hurricane coming, but people don’t listen and then you get torn up inside listening to devastating calls and there is nothing you can do.

I feel so bad for those people my grandma keeps a axe in her attic due to Katrina because she almost got trapped inside it because she climbed inside
The man saying him and Mama are about to Die did survive the storm. His name is Lou.
Yes they all survived

People always think it won't happen in their lifetime but im from Louisiana and lived through Katrina, and it taught us an a important lesson
