Alright so the first tropical storm of the season, Claudette, didn't do shit 
Plenty of other storms and "could be" storms in the Atlantic though. It figures it would get super active near the end of the hurricane season.
Spike Lee's documentary "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts" will be on HBO on the 20th of this month at 9:30am E/T and on the 28th at 1:15 pm E/T, marking the four year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. This documentary is amazingly moving and non-bias, portraying the days before the storm, the storm's destructive landfall and the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Mississippi. It features interviews from New Orleans, LA/ Biloxi, MS residents, along with politicians and some well known people. I've seen many documentaries on this subject, but none of them come as close to portraying the fear, anguish, anger, and the overall atmosphere of this disaster as Spike Lee's film.
That being said, you can look at as many pictures of the damage and aftermath as you like, you can watch as many television specials and read as many articles as you can find on Hurricane Katrina - It's all I had for myself before I went back to my home a year after the storm hit - but NONE of these things compares to the overwhelming emotion of actually being, in person, where all of these things took place.
Definitely check out the film if you're a documentary buff, a weather fanatic, or a humanitarian in general, as it appeals to all types of people, not only those of us who struggled to get through this.
