Earthstorm — S01E04 — Hurricane

00:00:13 All eyes are on the Gulf Coast tonight

00:02:30 Any time there's a storm around, there's just something that pulls us in.

00:04:16 Three days later, it becomes a tropical storm.

00:05:54 The categories of a hurricane, are based on wind speed.

00:07:43 the number of Category Four and Five hurricanes has almost doubled.

00:09:53 Hurricane Katrina was one of the most impactful and strongest storms

00:11:39 As Ida approaches the Louisiana coastline,

00:13:09 We call it nightmare fuel.

00:14:55 Something like half the world's population lives at the coast.

00:16:31 can lead to a large change in the performance of that structure.

00:18:44 and decided to head out in a separate vehicle.

00:20:27 I'm going to hold tight for just a little bit longer."

00:22:12 I'm just kind of hunkered down into my car, just praying.

00:24:10 I had spent five and a half to six hours with my ears popping.

00:26:08 I ain't never been through nothing like this.

00:28:13 As the storm came in, the water got almost to the power line.

00:30:27 In the Northern Hemisphere,

00:32:11 just by seeing the destruction of the storms.

00:33:55 It's the only human inhabited island right here in Louisiana.

00:35:29 What you see in the field stays with you.

00:37:11 From Louisiana, Ida pushes northeast.

00:38:48 I started to get calls from our MTA subway management team.

00:41:04 And now we transition to a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico
