Hurricane Katrina was heading towards New Orleans
Robert Ricks, of the National weather service, issued an urgent weather bulletin. He didn’t just say
“Warning, a hurricane is coming.” His bulletin gave
specific examples of the destruction and damage
the hurricane would cause.

“ ., Homes will have roof and wall failure.”
“High-rise office and apartment buildings will sway dangerously...a few to the point of
total collapse. All windows will blow out.”
“Power outages will last for weeks...as most power poles will be down.”
“The vast majority of native trees will be snapped or uprooted.”
“Livestock left exposed to the winds will be killed.”

His bulletin gave people a clear understanding of just how dangerous Hurricane Katrina
would be. As a result, 90% of those who lived in the hurricane’s path evacuated the
area.
