http://www.UltimateChase.com • Mike Theiss of Ultimate Chase video documents Hurricane Katrina's wrath on the United States by documenting both landfalls. This video is Part 1 and contains Katrina's first landfall on the South Florida area as a strengthening Cat-1 Hurricane. You will see many tourists were out in the wind and did not take this Hurricane serious resulting in many avoidable deaths. The people seen in this video were NOT with Ultimate Chase and were advised not to go out into the direct force of the wind. They did so anyway so we filmed them since they became part of the story. Katrina was responsible for 14 deaths in Southern Florida. • • Mike first films 90mph winds in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Then after dark drives back home through the southern eyewall and finally arrives after 5 intense hours to his condo in Homestead, Florida only to find no power and flooding all the way up to his door step. Mike's roof sustained moderate damage and many large trees went down in his neighborhood. Homestead was spared from Katrina's eye and eyewall but still got hit hard. Once Katrina crossed the Florida peninsula she rapidly intensified and became a Cat-5 Hurricane and caused record breaking storm surge on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and a second disaster in New Orleans as the levee's broke and flooded the city. Watch Part 2 of Hurricane Katrina on the Ultimate Chase YouTube channel and see the record breaking 28 foot storm surge caught on video from Gulfport, Mississippi....
