Anyone still have this? I want to show it to my 4 year old daughter so she can see what an actual hurricane looks like and I thought this would be the best example, but all the links online are dead. Anyone know of a good one?

Actually Charley is the 4th costliest hurricane, Katrina, Andrew, and Wilma are in front of him.

On a related note, I just got high-speed internet (yea!) so I can finally watch video online. So i'm looking for some online Katrina video shot *in* New Orleans during the storm, if there is any. I'm trying to imagine what my neighborhood looked like at the height of the storm..... Anyone have any links?

Thanks all...she didn't get scared....just amazed.

I'm not sure why she would want to see something like that. I don't think most adults would even want to

She was playing with a dollhouse and telling all the little dolls they had to move up to the 2nd story because the flood was coming. I asked her why it was flooding and she told me because the levee broke from the hurricane. (yea...only 4 and she knows about levees breaking). I asked her if she wanted to see what a true hurricane looked like and she said yes. I showed her the links above and a few others. She was amazed. Ever since then, all her dolls were evacuating instead of moving to the second floor. :cheesy:

I see, sounds like she needs her own username and password for this site - looks like you have a future storm2kster on your hands

I started becoming interested in weather around her age and 24 years later I am still just as interested...

I know...it's pretty cool. She's constantly playing like a tornado is coming or it's about to flood or something. I keep either an auto updating loop of a satellite or radar usually on the desktop and she knows the difference of the two. Maybe I should get her her own chase vehicle!

You're daughter amazes me. If I saw a Cat-4 hurricane shread a Gas Station at 4 years-old I would cry.
