If you’re tired of the same ole’ Thanksgiving turkey every year, you should try it! 🍽

Today marks the 19th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

To say that this hurricane altered the course of history for the south would be an understatement; The sheer destruction and loss of life were staggering, the scope of which made Katrina one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history.

At it’s peak, Hurricane Katrina was classified as a category 5 hurricane with sustained wind speeds of 175 mph.
Katrina was responsible for ~1,800 fatalities, a record $191 billion in damages, and resulted in a near post-apocolyptic scene in south Louisiana and Mississippi.

The levees around New Orleans failed, resulting in 80% of the city being submerged under water.
Thousands were trapped in their attics or on their roofs without food or water.

The Mississippi gulf coast was almost completely flattened; Entire casinos were plucked from their foundations, later discovered washed many blocks inland.

It took an estimated 18 months post-Katrina to return to a semblance of normalcy for the southeast.
Katrina has become somewhat of an epoch in the south, with the terms pre- and post- Katrina commonly used to reference those periods.

Everyone who lived on the gulfcoast lost something that day; Whether it be a loved one, a home, a job, or even just their sense of safety and stability.
There are memorials sprinkled all across the south, dedicated to remembering Katrina and it’s aftermath.

In 1976, the Louisiana state legislature officially designated petrified palmwood of the genus Palmoxylon as the Louisiana state fossil. 🦴
During the Oligocene period, approximately 30 million years ago, the coastline of Louisiana was about 100 miles farther inland that it is today.
Palm trees dotted the coastal swamps; some of which became buried in mineral rich sediment, primarily composed of volcanic ash, before they had a chance to decay. 🌴
The minerals in the sediment seeped into the porous wood, and over time replaced the organic wood structure, fossilizing it.
