10 Years Later How Did Yall Experience Hurricane Katrina?

[Loken]

i still think about that story with the i don't remember if they was army or what looking after that hospital having a shoot out with some looters and wounding one and sending him back where here came from to tell the rest of em don't come back here its on site

Yeah, I was in Jackson at the time. I had an apartment off State Street and Fortification.

that night Katrina came through was hellacious in itself. I was literally stuck in my car in the parking lot and the wind was pushing the shyt around.

I went upstairs and saw all my shyt was wrecked and the windows was blown out so I hit the street.

It was real quiet up until I hit Woodrow Wilson. That shyt was wiiiiiiiild.

Folks was rioting at gas stations and the police couldn't do shyt, people were trying to steal gas.... cause it was right after that gas shortage that we had, remember that? Folks was fighting over gas, water and canned goods. Screaming about "THE END OF THE WORLD" and "GOD PASSING JUDGEMENT".

Then it was folks walking around straight in shock. Like zombies. I had never seen no shyt like that in my life. I can only imagine what it was like in places where the REAL shyt was happening. they had that shopping area off Meadowbrook blocked off. no telling what the hell was going on over there. I didn't go back to my apartment til like 6 that morning.


two days later there was so many people at the Civic Center that you could smell the humanity from High Street. Folks sleeping in tents in the parking lot and shyt.....

about 2 weeks later the crime rate had skyrocketed. All those displaced and starving people. Put right on the edge of downtown where folks were practically starving just across the street anyway.

It was like that even for us, in a way.

Like, we knew the storm was coming, but we shrugged it off. Jackson is inland. Hurricanes hit the gulf, central mississippi gets a pretty bad tornado season. But in Jackson, it just storms a lot.

Katrina came through, killed power and caused chaos.

We got power back after a day or so and all the while we're talking about how bad it is, then you look at the news or in a newspaper and see people on roofs and the whole city flooded.

Then all these refugees showed up a few days later with nothing but the clothes on their backs and these HORRIFYING stories. Women with their kids and they're crying more than their kids are. Old people with nothing but loss in their eyes. Savage ass nikkas with no sense of law or structure or affiliation just showed up- look, man. We weren't prepared for that shyt.

Nobody was prepared for that shyt.

I was in Florida and Wilma did more damage imo. We lost power for about 2 weeks.
