Now that you remind me, I remember the videotape of that ship striking the Riverwalk Mall .... pretty crunchful. I think it was before Hurricane “Katrina”, which was in 2005.
Yep...it was in Dec., 1996, well before Katrina.
We had been there on a business trip in October, 1996.
To be exact...Katrina didn’t hit New Orleans. It hit Mississippi.
New Orleans had problems several days after the storm because the levees broke, and the place flooded.
