Walking down Bourbon Street you now see a “Second Line in the Sky” tribute to memorialize those that died in the New Years Day terrorist attack.

Really powerful and beautiful dedication done by the city.

20 years ago on August 28, 2005 #Katrina was a cat 5 hurricane moving our way. 7am 160 mph. 10am 175 mph. Paul Trotter head of @NWSNewOrleans put out ominous statement. Katrina would rival #Camille. I told people if they were staying to keep an axe in attic.

A tropical system is likely to form in the Gulf next week and the threat to the Gulf Coast is increasing. Residents from LA to FL need to stay up to date. Please note that individual models showing landfall points 5+ days out will be wrong - don’t feed into the hype. #lawx
