August 29, 2005 and it lasted all day- some would call that the beginning of the end. It was also the longest day of my life. It was a scary feeling and when we returned, it was as if the entire world had been flipped over and crushed! It was so depressing seeing people's valuable belongings from their memories laying around in all the trash.
And for you people who think it hit NEW ORLEANS...a direct hit would have CAUSED THE SUPERDOME TO COLLAPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure exactly when, but I can tell you how strong. Most news accounts list it as Category 4. In its last moments in the Gulf, it WAS Cat 4. But when it made land, it had spiked to 151-152 MPH. A Cat 5 is a hurricane with sustained winds of 150 MPH, and up. My source of info? My daughter's in-laws live in Mobile, Ala, and New Orleans, La. When you feel like a break from Y! Answers, do a search on "American Red Cross". And make that pledge. The Red Cross passes an extremely high amount of their donations on to victims. And victims STILL need your help.

It was around the time of the Video Music Awards (MTV) last year like August 27, 2005. I remember because they were afraid it was going to hit down in Florida and they thought they'd have to cancel.
