🌪️ Hurricane Preparedness & Forecasting 20 Years After Katrina

Episode Description:

It’s been 20 years since Hurricane Katrina reshaped the Gulf Coast — and the way we forecast and prepare for hurricanes. In this episode of Meteorology Matters, Rob Jones breaks down how forecasting has improved, where the biggest vulnerabilities remain, and why climate change is making storms more dangerous.

You’ll discover:

  • How new satellites and models have cut hurricane track errors by 50% since Katrina
  • Why storm surge — not wind — remains the deadliest hurricane threat
  • The hidden risks in New Orleans’ levee system, still only rated for a Category 3 storm
  • How rapidly intensifying storms are reducing evacuation time
  • Why budget cuts to FEMA and NOAA could stall future forecasting progress

Whether you live on the Gulf Coast, the East Coast, or inland, these insights could help you understand the real risks of hurricanes in a warming world — and why preparation matters more than ever.
