August 29, 2013 The Mississippi Gulf Coast is thriving, parts of New Orleans are a ghost town and may never be neighborhoods again. What's the difference? Is it too many waiting on a hand out or too many hands reaching into the recovery funds for personal gain?
August 26, 2013 Tropical Storm Fernand may go just as quickly as he arrived. The storm is not expected to be an issue for the United States coast.
On Friday, March 26, 2004, something happened in the South Atlantic Ocean that had never happened before: a hurricane formed. The following night, it made landfall and wreaked incredible havoc. Which is understandable, considering that the town of Torres in southern Brazil had not ever (at least on record) seen a hurricane, leaving its residents rather unprepared for the colossal impact.
August 25, 2013 We all remember Katrina and most of us remember Andrew too. There have been other August storms that have affected our lives too. Could there be another one brewing in the Gulf of Mexico this morning?
August 19, 2013 The tropical threat for the Gulf of Mexico from last week has dissipated. It looks to be a quiet week in the tropics.
August 15, 2013 We are watching the southern Gulf of Mexico for potential tropical development over the next few days.
August 14, 2013 An area of thunderstorms in the Caribbean Sea is being watched closely for development by the National Hurricane Center. Could this become a problem for Acadiana for the weekend?
1. The Cocktail: This New Orleans drink made from rum and fruit juices was invented by Pat O’Brien in the 1940s. Interestingly, O’Brien only concocted it because he needed to get rid of a lot of excess rum. He even gave them away for free to visiting sailors. The drink is now a staple of Mardi Gras and Cajun-flavored parties across the country.
August 8, 2013 From KATC :
WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal forecasters are slightly reducing their prediction for a busy Atlantic hurricane season.
Hurricanes cause all sorts of damage, but do you have any idea just how much?
