On 08/29/2005 I was in downtown New Orleans on assignment for The Weather Channel and I was the freelance videographer “Weather Paparazzi” who stayed in the city to document the storm while everyone else evacuated the area. This footage was shot at dawn during the morning hours as Hurricane Katrina eye wall ripped apart the city. I shot this footage on Canal Street and in the French Quarter. I was outside getting hit by debris and almost died to get this video. I was the only one out in the storm on Canal Street shooting video and getting blasted by the deadly flying debris.

On 08/29/2005 I was in downtown New Orleans on assignment for The Weather Channel and I was the freelance videographer “Weather Paparazzi” who stayed in the city to document the storm while everyone else evacuated the area. This footage was shot during the pre dawn hours as hurricane Katrina started to rip apart the city. I shot this on Canal Street and in the French Quarter. The video shows the city losing power as well as the start of the flooding from the heavy rain and damage.

After being told that the levee had failed and seeing that the water is rising fast, I flee through flooded streets to get out of downtown New Orleans and back to Kenner and higher ground near the airport. The SUV gets slammed with debris as I drive through water that was at some places 3 feet deep to escape the flooding. This is only a small sample of the 8 hours of raw Hurricane Katrina footage from the New Orleans area that I have on hand that is part of the BNVN Weather Paparazzi stock video collection.
