No, weather can be controlled but not substantially enough to move a hurricane. Even if the weather could be controlled they would not move it towards New Orleans but towards a low populated area. The reason for this is bc if it hits big city's it has a negative effect on the economy and will cost the government big dollars.

Some claim the ability to control the weather has been around for decades. I did see the commercial you are talking about, and it did not say Katrina was moved, it was posing the question "what if we could have moved it, how many lives could have been saved and how much destruction prevented", and they showed a computer model of the "what if" scenario. Supposedly the guy with the model claims it can be done, but not that it actually was done. I'm not far from you, on the MS Coast, and I'm curious to see the show.

Some people are looking at ways of controlling the weather, or at least controlling it to an extent.
One area being looked into is the generation and control of winds and even hurricanes. One of the reasons given being that natural hurricanes could be nudged off course by manmade winds and other hurricanes. For the time being this is largely confined to the realms of science fiction but there are people who wold like to take control of the weather.
Time will tell just how successful they are, personally I don't think they'll have anything other than a small influence at best, not for a long time at least. Scientists have been trying to manipulate rainfall since the 1940's without much success and by comparison to controlling hurricanes this should be easy.
I'm not going to get a chance to watch the programme either (in the UK) but maybe it will be uploaded onto YouTube or similar so you may be able to watch it later.

one million. using fact typhoon Katrina became no longer charted to hit New Orleans too problematical. If the levees had no longer broken, the hot Orleanites could have in basic terms some wood and achieveable minor flooding from rainwater to restoration. 2. Flooding, emergency evacuation 3. possibly besides because it would desire to have long gone. in case you're arranged to dig a ditch yet get the order to dig a canyon, what are you going to do? 4. properly, some human beings have been ignorant a**es approximately all of it, and a few unfold out their hearts and wallets to the persons of the Gulf Coast and New Orleans with volunteering and donations. 5. The media desires to be mounted to concentration on all factors of a disaster section, no longer in basic terms one unintentional one. asserting Katrina hit New Orleans is like throwing a watermelon at an ant and searching forward to it to hit in basic terms the ant.

I saw the same commercial and was wondering weather or not they moved it because they figured just poor low class people live there. Good luck on finding out

Its physically impossible to move a hurricane that large on purpose. Its impossible to move any type of weather really. You can't move a tornado. So the answer is no.
