A somewhat derogatory name for evacuees who fled New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina who now live in Houston, TX or Baton Rouge, LA. The name alludes to the burden the evacuees have places on the infrastructure of said cities. And the lack of one and two bedroom apartments for 9 months after the hurricane hit making it impossible for Houstonians to find housing after there lease was up due to inflated apartment costs.
Many use the term to comment on the increased crime and welfare rates in Houston and Baton Rouge.
Make sure you are packing heat going into the Southwest Ghetto area (Houston), there are a lot of Katrinaites living there now and crime has climbed 38%!
Katrinatreatment: when your local government during a crisis does nothing for your neighborhood because it is not a rich area of the city...example during the record snow storm blizzard no plowing of streets in your neighborhood, no shelters set-up nearby when power is out for days, all city officials who live in city have power and streets plowed in their neighborhoods. Mayor does not care, and city emergency hotline tells u when u call about no plow, and no way to leave, and u have no power or heat, they tell you "u are on your own" and hang up...that is called getting a "Katrinatreatment."
When I called the CityEmergency Hotline to report no power no heat no plow in my neighborhood they said "u are on your own." That is called getting a "Katrinatreatment."
The indescribably emotion the people of New Orleans felt when they returned home to our city once so full of life coked by water, lashed by wind and burned by fryer. A mixture of longing for the home that had once been so alive, pain at having to resort to looting to get baby formula, and faint hope that someday our beloved city would become the woman that she once was.
The broken old woman griped her rosary and tried to fight of the feeling of katrinacide as the Super Dome shook.
