NEXT PRIMETIME AIRING:
MON AUG 23RD... 9PM & 12AM

Over the course of 72 hours, Hurricane Katrina went from a cataclysmic storm to a catastrophic flood, which in turn became an apocalyptic human tragedy. All the while, amateur videographers, news crews, and countless others were recording the sights and sounds of the unfolding chaos. Weaving together more than a dozen of these sources, Witness: Katrina reconstructs Hurricane Katrina as it happened, entirely through the eyes of those who experienced it.

I DVRed it as well and watched last night. Even though I have seen a lot of footage to date, this show really brought home to me just how devastating and scary the storm surge was for Katrina. Also, the clips from the Superdome were heart-breaking as was hearing Nagin and WWL radio broadcasters crying on air in the aftermath.

I was deeply involved in the State of Texas' effort to house Katrina evacuees after the storm and this show gave me deeper insight into the mindset of those getting off the buses in Houston. Wow ... it was an amazing show.
