Never-before-heard 911 calls from Hurricane Katrina

This weekend marks the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. During the storm, 911 systems were inundated with calls from people in distress. CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann shares some of calls and the stories behind them.

    I was so relieved to hear the woman from that first 911 call survived. People blamed them for not evacuating, but failed to realize a lot of people didn't have anywhere to go or the financial means to do so. Not everybody has a reliable vehicle or money to drive inland to stay at a hotel or even with family or friends. People also didn't think it would be as horrible as it was.

    Blacks were given Gov handouts left and right, many of them at the time of this happening applied for and received MULTIPLE checks from the Gov. I personally knew of 3 Black Women who scammed the Gov out of over $100,000 on this and they were driving new cars, had nice new clothes and handbags. Typical Suspects and the Gov always helps these type of people out.

    There's a heartbreaking story on one of the true scary story narration channels submitted by a 911 operator in Mobile, Alabama who received a call from a woman trapped in her attic. The operator was confused when she couldn't find the cross streets the caller mentioned. Only then did she think to ask what city the call was from and learned she was calling from New Orleans. As the systems crashed, the calls were directed to other cities. The helpless operator could only listen as the woman prayed and cursed and cursed and prayed until the line went dead. She never learned the woman's fate and ended up resigning from 911.

The one that tore up Rowlett last Christmas was close to my grandma's house - damaged her roof, busted my uncle's windows, etc. My brother lives in Stephenville which got hit just this year and narrowly avoided several others.

    I live in terrebonne parish. The hurricane path is supposed to hit 2 blocks away from our house. We have evacuated and are now at my aunt's house in Florida. It is my first time ever evacuating for a hurricane. It's so hard to leave your hometown and think maybe my house might not be standing when we get back. My 12th birthday was yesterday and my friend was supposed to sleep over. She came over and we hung out but she couldnt sleep. I cried for 2 hours yesterday my mom cried today and so did my sister. This is a terrible thing. Tomorrow the storm hits and I am so scared I wont be able to sleep. If our house gets bad damage I dont know what we will do but we will come together as a community and figure everything out. Keep everyone in this area in your prayers and stay safe to everyone.

    My math teacher was teaching at a school in new orleans 2 months before the hurricane struck. She lost contact with most of the people in the school since the people died. Edit: my math teacher was glad to survive cuz she went back to my country 2 months before the hurricane struck.

    I remember I was at the laundry met off West Esplanade and Williams when the Jeff parish president was on the tv that Saturday around 11 am saying bring enough food and water if you go the last resort place, the Superdome. They were not there to feed you, he said. I can't be the only one that saw that message from him televised. Do anyone else remember?

    How were people gonna leave with no where to go or no way to pay for anything? 🥺 I had my first baby Aug 19 2005. My Uncle Glen lived in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina. We tried to help him and send some money so he could leave but we were too late. He drowned. We were contacted later and were able to get his body for burial. He wanted to leave but couldn't. The storm and water were both just too powerful.
