Description
Before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, the National Weather Service issued a bulletin unlike anything forecasters had seen before. In this archival WWL-TV interview, NWS forecaster Robert Ricks explains how he wrote the chilling Katrina alert ā describing debris from appliances, water shortages, and uninhabitable conditions ā and why he left in language that might have saved lives.
Veteran WWL chief meteorologist Carl Arredondo reflects on the power of those words, and how they shook even the most seasoned meteorologists.
