What are the differences between the 1927 flood and the hurricane Katrina flooding?
The 1927 flood was caused by extensive rainfall leading to overflowing of the Mississippi River and affected mostly rural areas, displacing hundreds of thousands of people. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was a powerful storm that caused flooding in New Orleans due to levee failures, resulting in catastrophic damage to urban areas and leading to significant loss of life. Additionally, the response and recovery efforts following Katrina were widely criticized for being inadequate.
What is the song about the new Orleans hurricane W said help is on its way and how can you get a live copy of it?
The song you are referring to is likely "Louisiana 1927" by Randy Newman, which was written about the devastating impact of the 1927 Great Mississippi Flood. It does not specifically mention Hurricane Katrina or any mention of W saying help is on its way. You can find live versions of the song by searching online music platforms or live concert recordings.

Did the Vermont flood contribute to the Mississippi flood of 1927?
No, since the Mississippi flooding came in the spring of 1927, and the Vermont flood was in very early November that year. There is no connection between the two floods except it may well have been the size and extent of the Mississippi flooding that put the question of federal aid for disaster relief in the public consciousness as it had never been before. Vermont profited from this in the sense that for the first time in history it took federal help for relief in the form of a $2.654 million grant from Washington for the reconstruction of bridges and highways. A 2007 book -- The Troubled Roar of the Waters -- about the flood explains how this all worked out.
What are some causes of the flood of 1927?
The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was primarily caused by a combination of excessive rainfall in the spring of that year and the melting of snow in the northern regions. The Mississippi River and its tributaries were overwhelmed by the unprecedented volume of water, leading to severe flooding. Additionally, the existing levee system, which was designed to control the river's flow, was inadequate and failed in many areas, exacerbating the disaster. Human activities, such as deforestation and agricultural practices, also contributed to increased runoff and soil erosion, further worsening the flood's impact.
