This was the Katrina Video I setup to stream from the old South Cypress Speedway website. The footage was filmed September 29, 2005, not long after the water was pumped out from St Bernard Parish Streets.

After completing this first Video I was overwhelmed with requests for copies from everyone who got a chance to see it. After a few days of constantly burning DVDs
I decided to compress and stream the video from server space I rent. Within a week of this video being on the old Racetracks website, word of mouth had grown to the point where it received 50,000 hits in one 24 hour period. This got my site shut down and almost cost me over $500.00 in bandwidth charges.

  • This Video played for the United States Congress

  • The United Way used it to recruit volunteers

  • LSU Deans Office got permission for its use

  • The University of New Orleans has it digitally archived

  • Dozens of Churches across the Country used it to recruit volunteers

  • Several Schools across the Country showed it to their students

I received hundreds of emails and phone calls, thanking me for showing what St Bernard Parish endured, since the Media failed to mention anything about us for so long.
