Archive for August, 2025

Here is something we found in the archives for the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. While cleaning up and working on decluttering the office, we found the long-lost edits of my Five-Part Series about Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. This was initially produced for the now-defunct “Current TV” network.

It was strange after Katrina. The footage was incredible, but I had never really done any interviews about being there for 20 years for anyone, just self-produced content. Yes, I really did have walking Pneumonia and a fever while chasing the storm, and I felt like crap, but I knew it was the storm of the decade.

For those wondering, why did I give one person a ride and not the other? Simple answer: Timing. If the man on Canal came up to me with a pet the next day, and asked for a ride to somewhere nearby that was dry, I would have said get in. You have to remember that, during the storm back in 2005, professional video cameras were huge. The front passenger seat of the SUV (GMC trail rental) was a huge camera mounted on a tripod that was strapped into the seat. The back seat and cargo area of the SUV were packed with survival gear, additional cameras, camera tapes, and computers. Remember, this was 2005, not 2025, when an iPhone could be used as a Movie Camera. After the storm, when I knew I could make it out and head west to Houston, I gave away most of the survival supplies to people at the hotel and the EMS staff at the airport, so the front seat and back seats were empty the next day.
