Hurricane Katrina at 10: The Craziest Youtube Videos

If you search for "Hurricane Katrina" on YouTube, you'll be overwhelmed. Even though the website had just launched in 2005, many people have since uploaded media coverage, storm damage, storm specials and storm chase videos in the last 10 years.

This video, by Storm Chaser Mike Theiss, is probably the "best" or "worst" (i.e. most extreme, most terrifying) video that I know of from Hurricane Katrina. He's lucky to be alive, and you should not attempt this if you are not a professional storm chaser.

I'll let his YouTube description speak for itself: "Exclusive (Emmy Award) video shot by Mike Theiss from ground zero of Hurricane Katrina's historic 28 foot storm surge that ripped through Gulfport, Mississippi on August 29th, 2005. This 13 minute video will give you a sense of just how bad Katrina was on the Gulf Coast without actually putting you in harms way!" To see the entire version of this video about two hours in duration please purchase the DVD "Battle at the Beachfront."

But his last sentence is brilliant: "When local officials ask you to evacuate just think of this video and ask yourself do you want to risk being put in a situation like this?" Mike just dropped the mic, folks!
