Ride walks with Janice White of the Red Cross in GROUND ZERO of the 9th Ward, talking about what the public is not being told and has been left unknown to the rest of the world. She is amazed when finding an intact glass bowl, yet the house around it is completely destroyed. New Orleans Firefighter Adam Woodruff digs through the rubble on his daily USAR mission, however Urban Search and Rescue has turned to Recovery of the more than 1000 missing bodies. He tells how the houses he scours for cadavers is no different than his own in New Orleans East - even as a first responding Firefighter - like over 80% of the rescuers and city itself, he lost everything he owns as well. In Arabi, a grandmother Ride meets cries as she mourns the loss of the 100s of photographs she took of her grandchildren. Elsewhere at GROUND ZERO of Lakeview, Ride talks to another woman, whose mother’s house was directly in front of the levee break. She searches for a single whole teacup - anything in one piece to bring back to her mom. In this episode, we see how personal loss is, and nearly no one in the city was immune - firefighter or civilian, rescuer or victim.

SPOTLIGHT: KATRINA PET AND ANIMAL RESCUE FOOTAGE! Ride Hamilton shows the FOURTH intense video excerpt from his in-progress Hurricane Katrina Documentary. The only tapestry of stories filmed LIVE as it was and STILL IS happening. It covers in tragic, emotional, and honest detail - everyday of the storm from DAY ONE to TODAY. ——————— THIS PODCAST: Ride walks with Janice White of the Red Cross through the worst hit area of the 9th Ward. He asks, “Why is the section locked off?” She answers, “There’s too many dead bodies in these houses, and we also don’t know which ones may fall down on you.” She continues, “Maybe by December we can find the bodies and let residents in.” Then, Ride continues with the dedicated pet and animal rescue volunteers as they try to save a dog desperately trapped between houses that are collided together. It’s literally a maze of wood, nails, metal, and debris. The dog was spotted by boat weeks ago, and now as some land is beginning to dry, the pet rescue volunteers come back to try again to rescue this same dog. Alas, it is still trapped, and all they can do is leave food and water. ——————— ABOUT THE FILM MAKER: Ride Hamilton was the only photo-journalist to never evacuate - and stay living and participating in the New Orleans community throughout Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the electricity-less, water-less, and MRE, heat, and mosquito-filled months afterwards.

Yes, we are a more sophisticated nation, but I also noticed some frightening things in the recent past. One year, a storm was headed towards Galveston/Houston but was predicted to turn away to the West or NW. Well, the weather radio played old repeats all day long, which made me suspicious at the LACK of new info. Sure enough, the storm was still heading towards Galveston & long after it was expected to turn. Officials didn’t seem to want to "unnecessarilly" worry or evacuate the Galveston area, so they seemingly were staying silent & saying nothing at all. If the storm had strengthened & stayed on that course, it could have been bad for the people there. We’ve seen that these storms can mushroom in a hurry! Why play politics with people’s lives? It would’ve been impossible to evacuate Galveston, Texas City, etc. within the short time that was left if it had continued that direction. Officials should not gamble like that, which I think makes a disaster more likely.
Hurricane Charley strengthened rapidly just before striking the southwestern coast of Florida, over Charlotte Harbor, as a Category Four hurricane. Although extremely small in size, Charley produced sustained winds of 150mph and gusts to near 175mph, causing catastrophic wind damage in the communities of Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, FL. The Charlotte County Medical Center recorded an unofficial gust of 150kts (173mph) and the Charlotte County Airport recorded 139kts (160mph). Charley’s minimum central pressure at landfall was 942mb (27.82in) and I recorded 950mb (28.05in) at my location near Fawcett Memorial Hospital. Veteran storm chaser Andy Dressler accompanied me on this chase.
This is a sample of my Tropical Storm Gordon chase footage. This video was taken during Gordon’s slow and erratic movement near and over South Florida, from November 13-16, 1994. Gordon was a relatively disorganized tropical storm, however, it had a very large windfield and produced extended periods of tropical storm conditions over the southern peninsula. Originating in the Caribbean Sea, south of Jamaica, Gordon moved northward across Cuba, then turned west-northwest through the Florida Straits into the Gulf of Mexico and then recurved sharply to the northeast, finally making landfall near Fort Myers. Gordon’s maximum sustained winds were near 50mph with gusts near 70mph. The highest officially recorded winds in South Florida were sustained at 53mph from Virginia Key (near Miami) and a gust to 62mph at the Fowey Rocks lighthouse. I recorded a gust of 72kt (83mph) at my home in Southern Dade country, which was noted in the National Hurricane Center preliminary report on the storm. Highest winds in this video are sustained around 40mph, gusting to 60mph, and occur between 3min 40sec and 4min 30sec into the clip. After leaving Florida, Gordon restrengthend in the Atlantic and reached Hurricane strength offshore North Carolina.
This was taken about a quarter mile away from Dixie dr. Were there was major damage. In the first 15 to 20 seconds you can see the tornado good, then it goes behind the trees.
The last hurricane that passed through were the gas stations equipped with backup generators, were the shelters properly surveyed for proper usage, were inventory made on food and medical supplies that could be made available for use after the disaster passed away. Were the hospital and other emergency establishments equipment with backup generators. We should always be prepared,the season will soon be here again. Just look around you and what do you see?

Okay, they’ve had a complete disaster…like 20+ thousand people have apparently died, and they are missing about 40,000 to 50,000 people. Nations of the world are trying to send food and supplies to those in Myanmar who need it. But their stupid government isn’t allowing "foreigners" into the country. From what I have read in the news, the government is exchanging good food coming in (what little gets in, that is) with poor food…and shipping the poor food to the people involved in the disaster. Apparently the military is keeping the good food. What is wrong with this picture, and why is this Yangon/Myanmar government being so stupid about refusing help? It seems to be a rather poor place without the cyclone/hurricane that hit. Even more so now that it has hit…and it seems that some of the political leaders are trying to ‘label’ food cartons with their name, to try to make a big name for themselves and look like the hero.
MANY DISASTER TAKES PLACE LIKE EARTH QUAKE, TSUNAMI, FLOOD, TEC. I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO SET UP THE RELIEF CAMP IN THOSE AREAS, PLANNING, ORGANISING AND CONDUCTING
disaster like a flood or tornado? A bunch of my friends and I were discussing high school and our year books and one friend said everything from her childhood was lost in a house fire. I felt bad for her. All her photos and things that meant so much to her. She is the second person I’ve met whose home were destroyed.
Hmm..Another "terrorist" attack? A Katrina-like disaster? In my opinion…its for the next self-inflicted wound commited by our government to be blamed on terrorists…but what do YOU think?
