Hurricane Katrina Landfall

Hurricane Katrina makes landfall in Buras-Triumph, Louisiana, with catastrophic force. The storm surge floods streets, debris flies, and residents scramble for safety—some securing homes, others fleei

Setting

A small coastal town in Buras-Triumph, Louisiana, with modest single-story homes and businesses built on stilts, surrounded by marshland. The streets are already flooding as the storm surge pushes inland, with debris from trees and buildings beginning to scatter.

TNGF
SELECTED
Fisherman
primary
A rugged man in his late 40s with sun-worn skin, deep wrinkles around his eyes from years of squinting against the sun and wind. His salt-and-pepper hair is tousled by the storm winds, and his muscular arms show the strength of a lifetime hauling nets. A jagged scar runs down his left forearm from a fishing line accident.
Neighbor
primary
A middle-aged man in his late 40s, with a stocky but strong build from years of manual labor. His sun-weathered face is framed by short, salt-and-pepper hair, and his hands are calloused. His eyes are tired but alert, scanning the chaos around him.
Elderly Woman
secondary
A frail woman in her late 70s with thin, silver hair pulled back into a loose bun. Her deeply wrinkled face shows years of sun exposure, and her pale blue eyes are wide with fear. She moves slowly with a slight stoop, her thin arms trembling as she clutches her belongings.
Teenager
secondary
A lanky 16-year-old with tousled dark brown hair, slightly sunburnt skin, and a smudge of dirt across his cheek. His wiry frame is tense with urgency, muscles straining as he works against the wind.
Sheriff's Deputy
secondary
A stocky, middle-aged man with a weathered face, short-cropped salt-and-pepper hair, and a permanent squint from years of working in the sun. His broad shoulders and muscular arms suggest physical strength, but his movements are efficient rather than aggressive. A thin scar runs along his left cheekbone, partially hidden by his uniform cap.
