    Extreme weather is increasing. For the naysayers, just look at recent experience. Depending on where you were, between eight and 12 inches of snow fell in New Orleans Jan. 22, 2025. The last time we had eight inches of snow in New Orleans was 130 years ago on February 14, 1895. Wildfires are burning in South Carolina and North Carolina right now, but nothing like what happened in Los Angeles. Just a couple of weeks before New Orleans had snow, 40,000 acres burned in parts of LA.

Hurricane Katrina made landfall on Aug. 29, 2005, causing extensive damage along the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in New Orleans. According to WDSU Chief Meteorologist Emeritus Margaret Orr, the way the ingredients came together during the summer of 2005 to create Hurricane Katrina was just plain bad luck. Below, Orr recalls how she remembers covering the hurricane that changed New Orleans forever. WDSU began non-stop coverage.

@MargaretOrr Bill Stanley and Bart Darby in the morning. Bill was LSU and Bart was Tulane (fans). Bart Darby also did a thing called “Dialing for Dollars”. BTW you were one of the early female Mets on TV. And pretty darn good, too.
