The HORRIFYING Fate of a Hurricane Katrina Survivor

Get early episodes & ad-free audio on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorian In late August 2005, New Orleans was forever changed. Tonight, you will step into the life of a Hurricane Katrina survivor — not through headlines or statistics, but through the lived horror of waiting, drowning, and being forgotten. This is not the story of the storm itself. It is the story of what came after: the levees breaking, families stranded on rooftops, days in the Superdome without food or water, the silence of a government that looked away, and the exile that followed. The horrifying truth is that survival was not an ending, but its own kind of erasure. 🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep Tools Looking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
