The Great Storm of 1915

Each month we talk with Richard Campanella about his Cityscapes columnfor NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune. This month the Professor of Geography at the Tulane School of Architecture talks about a very special anniversary: the story of the great storm of 1915, which hit 100 years ago.

 

WWNOs Jesse Hardman sat down with Campanella to talk about the centennial of the storm that hit just as New Orleans was coming into its own as a city.

 

As the new Coastal Reporter, Jesse Hardman will draw on 15 years of worldwide experience in radio, video and print journalism. As a radio reporter he has reported for NPR, BBC, and CBC, and for such familiar programs as Marketplace, This American Life, Latino USA, and Living on Earth. He served as a daily news reporter and news magazine producer for WBEZ in Chicago.
