Hurricane Ida vs. Hurricane Katrina: Comparing the two storms
There are a lot of similarities between the two storms. WFAA meteorologist Jessie Hawila compares them.
Many people are drawing comparisons between Ida and Katrina. Eerily enough, they’re expected to share the same date of landfall. Katrina was August 29, 2005 and Ida will make landfall August 29, 2021. While there are tons of similarities to be found, subtle differences between the two could make a big difference in what happens in New Orleans.
The storm surge with Hurricane Ida is expected to be extreme and life-threatening. Some parts of the Louisiana coast could see storms surge of 10-15 feet.

And that’s not the 🌪️ that might come with it.
Maybe instead of a wall with Mexico we should have a wall with the gulf of Mexico?
trumnpty is more afraid of brrown people than huuuuge hurricanes that can cause bbillions in damage…it’s a tiny brain thing…
@tigerbalm does the word ILLEGAL mean anything to your brainwashed liberal tiny brain? No one has a problem with them coming in LEGALLY. Hopefully they all move into your neighborhood so you can reap the rewards
@tigerbalm brainwashed sheep
@Jerm Johnson You sound really offended, maybe take a hike or something.
@tigerbalm I can see he has made a home inside your head. Rent free it seems.
Stay Safe Everyone In Louisiana From Hurricane Ida
With “Extremely Destructive Force”
Take Care Everyone
My prayers are with you
Every storm is a warning from JESUS CHRIST! People around the world must repent!
Don’t forget Mississippi, with Katrina everyone spoke about New Orleans when it actually hit the Mississippi coast. The levees broke the next day.
We all hope and pray u all stay safe in these storm areas
I saw this on my schools tv, they were showing the aftermath of Katrina… I swear what he just said doesn’t come true and combine the fact of that levee system to. Please stay safe in New Orleans, the surrounding areas as well! I’m getting so concerned even now!
From 10 am to 1:00 pm could see it drop from Cat 4 to a Cat 3. But that’s a big maybe.
@MrMJmusicLover no one is saying that though. They are saying it looks like it will be right at Cat 5 when it hits!
Nope. Its a wrap for New Orleans. Looks like it will make landfall as a CAT 5. 175mph sustained winds gusts to 200mph. 12″+ rain
Thanks Kenneth, the LEVEE BREAKS flooded New Orleans, not the storm surge.I was there.
Amazing how tornadoes & hurricanes follow same routes ,very interesting tracking past storms . Praying 🙏 for peoples safety.please listen to the people in the know .
It is amazing how our government controls these storms.
@Gregory Dunn ?
@Gregory Dunn Bet You Believe The Earth Is Flat Too
@Juan Cisneros there was a recent news story about cloud seeding to create rain in Dubai, because of the drought. Nothing in 2021 is surprising anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if creating storms was a thing.
Hurricane Sally last year landed the same day that Hurricane Ivan did.
Lol they wasn’t as bad as this hurricane or Katrina
@Real Deal Spill sally did soooo much rain because it was going 1-2 mph
Wow
As a Houstonian , I thought Harvey was going to be strong .. but not as overpowered as it came , get out now!
Same day, almost exactly same track….:
It wouldn’t surprise me to hear some crazy conspiracy theories soon…
All craziness aside I’m seriously praying for safety for everyone in the critical areas!!
Yeah one crazy conspiracy theory I heard was that if we were taxing people more Hurricane Ida would not be happening.
It’s Bidens fault
Very interesting & smart comparison to add history to projections. Only weather news station I’ve seen so this. I hope everyone leaves & is safe.
Im going to die
Due to today’s serious events, including the Covid-19 pandemic, many companies and employees have gone bankrupt or lost their jobs. So, many people lost their livelihood.
This previously difficult situation is being exacerbated by disasters in various parts of the world. So man faces many problems that make others lose hope. (from the Philippines)
