While I'm at Dragon Con, here's an old Patreon episode about Tennessee water mysteries, including some spooky sightings of what were probably bears, and some mystery fish! Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. As this episode goes live, I should be at Dragon Con, so I decided to go ahead and schedule an old Patreon episode to run instead of trying to get a new episode ready in time. It's about some water mysteries in my home state of Tennessee, although I actually just moved away from Tennessee to Georgia. Tennessee is in the southeastern United States, a long thin state divided into three geographical sections. East Tennessee borders the southern Appalachian Mountains, Middle Tennessee is on the Cumberland Plateau, and West Tennessee borders the Mississippi River. The only natural lake in the state is Reelfoot in northwestern Tennessee, a shallow, swampy body of water formed in the early 19th century. Before 1811, instead of a lake a small river flowed through the area, a tributary of the Mississippi. In earlier accounts, Reelfoot River is called Red Foot River. Most of the residents of the area at the time were Choctaw, although white settlers lived in the small town of New Madrid near the bank of the Mississippi. From December 1811 through February 1812, a series of earthquakes in the New Madrid Seismic Zone changed the land radically. There were three main quakes and innumerable smaller ones, ranging from an estimated 6.7 for the smallest quake to a possible 8.8 for the largest. In the initial quake and aftershocks on 16 December 1811, chimneys collapsed, trees fell, and fissures opened and closed, projecting water or sand high in the air. Boats on the Mississippi capsized as huge waves crashed from bank to bank. A woman named Eliza Bryan, who lived in New Madrid, wrote an account of the quakes: On the 16th of December, 1811, about 2 o'clock a.m., a violent shock of earthquake, accompanied by a very awful noise, resembling loud but distant thunder, but hoarse and vibrating, followed by complete saturation of the atmosphere with sulphurous vapor, causing total darkness. The screams of the inhabitants, the cries of the fowls and beasts of every species, the falling trees, and the roaring of the Mississippi, the current of which was retrograde for a few minutes, owing, as it is supposed, to an eruption in its bed, formed a scene truly horrible. From this time on until the 4th of February the earth was in continual agitation, visibly waving as a gentle sea. On that day there was another shock…and on the 7th, at about 4 o'clock a.m., a concussion took place so much more violent than those preceding it that it is denominated the ‘hard shock.' The Mississippi first seemed to recede from its banks, and its waters gathered up like a mountain… Then, rising 15 or 20 feet perpendicularly and expanding, as it were, at the same time, the banks overflowed with a retrograde current rapid as a torrent. A riverboat captain reported in another account that his boat was caught in a ferocious current on the Mississippi, crashing across waves he estimated as six feet high, or 1.8 m. He also reported whirlpools that he estimated were 30 feet deep, or 9 m. He saw all the trees on either bank fall at once. The December quake was so large it was felt across North America, from Canada to the Gulf Coast. Then, only five weeks later, it happened again, followed by the third major earthquake on 7 February. Only 15 miles, or 24 km, from the epicenter, the land dropped 20 feet, or 6 m, and created a basin that immediately filled with water. Reelfoot Lake was formed, Tennessee's only natural lake. Reelfoot is a state park these days, popular with boaters, fishers, hunters, and birdwatchers. The only cryptid sighting I could find took place in the Glass community near Obion, within ten miles, or 16 km, of the lake. A man who grew up in Glass reported in 2009 that a bipeda...

20 years ago this week Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Gulf Coast. On August 29th, the levees broke and created a humanitarian crisis rarely seen before, seen too often now. Over 1800 people died and over a million evacuated with hundreds of thousands being permanently displaced in the aftermath. In the neighborhood of Algiers, a group of anarchists and radicals started the Common Ground Relief to provide mutual aid to the communities impacted by the hurricane, but also by their places in the margins of New Orleans. Over 100,000 volunteers passed through New Orleans over a three year period and it became to largest anarchist inspired organization in modern U.S. history. In our latest, we talk with one of the co-founders of Common Ground, and one of our long time homies, scott crow about Hurricane Katrina, Common Ground and the "long slow history of disaster." We discuss the themes of collective liberation, mutual aid and direct action and how they fit into that history.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — A group of Democratic governors is criticizing the Trump administration's efforts to deploy National Guard troops in major cities.  In a joint statement Thursday, 19 governors called the efforts an alarming abuse of power.  They claim Trump has cut funding for law enforcement and undermined the authority of governors over their states' National Guards.    Two ---  Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook is filing a lawsuit after President Trump's attempt to fire her.  The suit is the start of a legal battle between the two sides that will likely end up in front of the Supreme Court.  It follows a Justice Department criminal investigation into the board governor after she was accused of making false statements on home mortgage applications.    And number three ---  Today marks 20 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. It was one of the costliest and deadliest storms ever to strike the United States. Katrina was responsible for nearly 1,400 deaths and caused $125 billion in damage. Two days after landfall, more than 80% of New Orleans was flooded due to levee failures.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, recorded on FAFO Friday, August 29, 2025, host Clay Edwards kicks off with a safety reminder amid flash flooding in Central Mississippi, sharing a personal close call on the road.   The show dives into local crime news, covering a double murder in Brandon over two days. Clay details the targeted homicide on Highway 80 and the subsequent killing of Christopher Story, noting the suspect, Matthew Brian Kidd, was apprehended after being on the run. He discusses the case as involving white suspects with face tattoos, critiquing "white thuggery" and cultural appropriation, emphasizing that he calls out bad behavior in his own community without excuses like systemic issues. Clay addresses backlash over a photo of the sheriff smiling post-arrest, defending it as relief over removing a threat from the streets. He offers condolences to the victims' families and speculates on motives like drugs or disputes, while touching on stereotypes and profiling based on appearance and records.   Shifting to national news, Clay reacts to reports of Donald Trump revoking Kamala Harris's Secret Service detail, questioning if it's pettiness or tied to potential legal actions related to the 2020 election, and notes that former vice presidents typically receive lifelong protection unless declined or revoked.   Marking the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Clay shares his survival story: riding out the storm in downtown Jackson with his dad during Category 1 winds, witnessing flooding and debris, and later helping evacuees by cooking and donating food to the Coliseum shelter. He discusses the influx of people from New Orleans' 9th Ward contributing to cultural shifts and crime in Jackson. Clay harshly critiques a recent Netflix Katrina documentary as a "dumpster fire" focused on New Orleans' systemic racism narrative, ignoring Mississippi's self-reliant response and the Gulf Coast's predominantly white communities that rebuilt without heavy federal aid. He praises Mississippi's handling under Governor Haley Barbour as a model of boots-on-the-ground action, contrasting it with Louisiana's issues.   Listeners call in with their Katrina experiences, including a military veteran deployed for relief efforts who describes convoying from Texas, sitting idle on a Louisiana airfield despite resources like FEMA plywood going unused, and the inefficiencies in search-and-rescue operations. Another caller explains DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Recovery Team) activations, body recovery protocols (including autopsies to rule out murders disguised as storm deaths), and Mississippi's proactive response without waiting for federal direction.   The episode wraps with reflections on judging modern governors by Barbour's Katrina standard, emergency management successes like MEMA, and ironic parallels between Katrina complaints about government inaction and current debates over federal involvement in urban crime.

On the afternoon of Friday, August 26, 2005, the National Hurricane Center changed the predicted landfall of Katrina from the panhandle of Florida to Mississippi. As the storm continued to increase in size and intensity, Federal, State, and local officials, began planning for the worst case scenario.   For Gulf Coast residents, it was a familiar dilemma: to stay or to go? Boarding up homes and businesses, packing up and heading north was a costly effort that too many times, proved unnecessary. Afterall, it had been some 36 years since Hurricane Camile, the yardstick by which all hurricanes were measured, had devastated the Gulf Coast. What were the odds that Katrina could cause that level of destruction?   In our first episode, we look back on the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina. We examine the choices that were made and why. We hear first-hand accounts by key decision makers of the Mississippi Army National Guard including Major General Harold "Hac" Cross, Major General Bobbie Ginn, and Major General Janson "Durr" Boyles.   We also hear from Dr. David Holt, Associate Professor of Geography in the School of Coastal Resilience at USM, and Dr. Deanne Stephens, Co-Director of the Center for the Study of the Gulf South at USM.   To these voices, we add the stories of Mississippians from all walks of life, recorded shortly after the storm. From these raw accounts of survival and resiliency, we will hopefully gain a deeper perspective of how they prepared to meet the moment that fateful weekend in August of 2005.   Hosted by Bill Ellison Produced by Ross Walton  Executive Producer Dr. Kevin Greene.

A flood vehicle, or flood-damaged car, is a vehicle that has been partially or fully submerged in water, leading to significant and potentially hidden damage to its body, engine, and electronics. These vehicles often receive a "salvage" or "flood" title, which should be disclosed by sellers. Hurricane Katrina flooded and damaged an estimated 500,000 to 600,000 vehicles along the Gulf Coast, with about 300,000 vehicle insurance claims filed due to the storm. Efforts were made to identify and destroy these water-damaged cars, but thousands still resurfaced on the used car market, sometimes with hidden damage.Email the show: auto@mpbonline.orgRecalls: Check for Recalls: Vehicle, Car Seat, Tire, Equipment | NHTSANews: What Is Hydroplaning, And What Should You Do If It Happens?Auto Casey Car Review: 2026 Subaru Solterra | Short take Hosted on Acast.

On August 25th, 2005, Hurricane Katrina crossed over South Florida and into the Gulf, where it quickly strengthened into a massive category 5 storm. Gulf Coast residents watched with increasing alarm as it became obvious that Mississippi was in the crosshairs of this once-in-a-generation weather event.   As President George W. Bush declared a state of emergency and evacuations were ordered for New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, emergency crews, equipment, and supplies, were prepositioned for the rescue and recovery efforts that would follow.   Key to those efforts would be the Mississippi National Guard. Already stretched thin due to deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, Adjutant General Harrold "Hac" Cross knew we would need assistance from other states to meet the moment.   When the storm made landfall near the Louisiana-Mississippi state line early on the morning of August 29, those who were unable or unwilling to evacuate experienced sustained winds of 120 miles per hour and a 27 foot wall of water. Many clung to trees or floating debris, desperate to survive.   By the time Hurricane Katrina left Mississippi, no part of the state was left untouched. All 82 counties were declared disaster areas. On the Gulf Coast, some 90% of the buildings within a half mile of the shoreline were wiped away, leaving 238 people dead, 67 missing, and billions of dollars in damages.   As massive as the storm itself was the rescue and recovery efforts. Relief agencies and philanthropic groups from around the world descended on Mississippi with truckloads of food, water, and other desperately need supplies. Rescue and relief would take weeks, recovery efforts would take years.   Even before the power was fully restored, the Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage at the University of Southern Mississippi began planning for an oral history project to preserve for future generations, the shared impact of what our people had just experienced. Over the next five years, the Center would collect some 400-plus interviews to be used for museum exhibits, presentations, books, radio programs, and even a stage play.   In this four-episode podcast series, produced by the Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage, and the Center for the Study of the National Guard at USM, with support from the Mississippi Humanities Council, we will mine that collection for stories of survival and resilience. To those stories we will add new interviews with key decision-makers and scholars to gain some new perspectives on the lasting legacy of Hurricane Katrina.   I'm your host Bill Ellison, inviting you to take this journey with me as we witness the ferocity of nature and the resilience of our citizens.   Mississippi Moments Presents: Voices of Our People - Hurricane Katrina: Twenty Years Later.   Hosted by Bill Ellison Produced by Ross Walton  Executive Producer Dr. Kevin Greene.

Executive director Connie Uddo joins us to talk about the project. .Climate change is making hurricanes stronger than before. Five years ago, the Federal Emergency Management Agency started a program to fund projects that help prevent damage from disasters, before they happen.
