That was impressive. Some really good amateur journalism there. I like how the pelicans just seemed to be taking it all in stride.
MidniteBobsays...Hi James,
MidniteBob here (a Newbie at videosift) ... I'm one of the ones who was directed here by another website & I joined to 'Vote for Jake'...And then I spent the last 14 hours induldging myself in everything...& eventually, I noticed your 'Posting' on Jake's thread, & so I clicked on the 'star thingy' just so that I could drop you a quick note that I've become an addict....And I ended up 'here' watching Katrina from 'Da Beau'.....I spent a month there working as a contractor before Katrina hit,,,parked in that same garage....^%*^^%$#$%!!! I don't wanna take up any more space here, but if you get a chance, please drop me an e-mail re: Katrina to know_jack@yahoo.com Me & my co-workers have a lot of fond memories of Da Beau & a Jesse Winchester song called 'Biloxi' to remember her by...I would really like to hear from you how it looked the next day...And to also find out..What the heck were you doing filming that#$%@$^% when you should have been bunkered down somewhere you crazy ass %%$%$^&^You!!!
Thanks
MidniteBob

supersaiyan93says...incredible video. I can't help but think how much it must have sucked for him AFTER the storm though. His "mobile assault vehicle" (Trailblazer? lol.) wouldn't have been much good to get past all the debris (if you want to call a several thousand ton floating casino "debris") in the middle of the roads. All resources were completely wiped out and most roads out of the area were completely impassable. In other words, I hope he packed a lunch!
On a little aside, I've noticed that no one from outside of the area pronounces "Biloxi" properly, including the guy in the film. It's pronounced "Buh-luxee" with a very short sounding of the first syllable. More like "B'luxee".
berticussays...*nature
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Nature) - requested by berticus.
