weird behavior from katrina ben. we had nothing solid. nothing really incriminating, but it was just something not being right there. >> reporter: the cops had a nagging feeling katrina ben was lying. that pot dealer wasn't in the apartment the night eric was murdered, but katrina was and suddenly she looked suspicious. but suspicions don't make a case. and right now someone was getting away with murder. >>> coming up -- a damaged gun helps a determined detective shoot a bull's-eye. >> it was recovered the day after we found eric's body. and i was like let's just test this gun makes sense. johnson's believes that bath time is more than cleansing. your loving touch stimulates his senses and nurtures his mind. the johnson's scent, lather, and bubbles help enhance the experience. so why just clean your baby, when you can give him so much more? i'm lucky to get through a shift without a disaster. my bargain detergent couldn't keep up. so i switched to tide pods. they're super concentrated so i get a better clean. 15% cle

this is video of katrina ten years ago. maximum wind gusts during katrina, 110 miles per hour. patricia clocked in at more than 200 miles per hour at landfall. let's compare it to another devastating storm. this is hurricane andrew which killed dozens when it devastated south florida in 1992. it had wind gusts of up to 175 miles per hour. a lot of people in the bay area have families and friends in the path of hurricane patricia. right now, they can only pray and hope for the best. nbc bay area's pete is in the mission district. pete, you spoke with a man who is on pins and needles now as he waits for word from his family in mexico. >> reporter: a difficult thing for him to watch, as the historic hurricane made landfall. it's on the hearts and minds of his customers. a typical day at this bakery. a social meeting spot for decades, right here in the mission. undercurrent of worry is in the air. patricia heading toward a place where louie calls home. >> it does really hit a chord when somebody you know is in that area. >> reporter: louie continued working. no reply for several ho

we created a new verb during katrina. it meant my house was gone and there was nothing left and there were probably 20 or 25,000 homes on the gulf coast that were reduced. to finish on that point under the federal disaster law they would get 7.5% of the public assistance etc. the federal government gave the state to do this and that we get another 7.5% of what is called hazardous mitigation we wanted to take our money and we have twice as much money coming to build an interoperable communications systems they wouldn't let us use the money for that. they said that the communications didn't fit into the house or us and it's about the stupidest thing i've ever heard of in my life because if you can tell people to get out of the way you will save a lot of lives and a lot of property. at the end of the day the senator made them move $107 billion out of the hazard mitigation account and put it in a different account and then give it to us. that is how pigheaded they were about this stupid rule we were still the only state in am

hurricane katrina. the bush administration criticized for the reaction to hurricane katrina. 9/11,as a playback to where george w. bush was reading to a group of children, a book that you might remember called "my pet goat." that's when one of his aides whispered in his ear what had happened. many of you saw pictures of that time. he had quite an expression on his face when he was told. which could have been the same for katrina, considered the ministration's response to put. -- response to it. when they finally moved all those poor people that had been suffering in new orleans after katrina, they moved it to an arena in houston, i believe. the elder bush, h. bush, and barbara bush, the former first lady went and looked around. she actually said this. "so many of the people in the arena here were underprivileged anyway. so this is working well for them." [laughter] remember the prime minister of great britain, tony blair, former prime minister was a great ally with george w. bush and also a friend. they

[applause] it's hard to believe that it's been ten years since hurricane katrina struck august 28 and in researching where katrina fell in the order of natural disasters that have hit this country i started researching the hurricane of 1900 that more than hit galveston and almost wiped off the map and it was a fascinating story to me and as i got into it a little bit more and a little bit more, i thought i don't think a lot of people know how bad this is. folks in the gulf region have a pretty good idea that the average person in america i don't think knows into the more i research it the more deeply into it i got i decided maybe i can write a book out of this but i have limited skills as you probably see every morning so i hired a guy who's a wonderful author in his own right but is a marvelous researcher and as he delved into this and would show me information the more i saw the more i became fascinated by this i decided this was a terrific story because galveston represented a lot of this country at the turn of the country. the can-do attitude, the belief that we were masters of ou

so, hurricane katrina the mission ministration was criticized for the reaction hurricane katrina so this is a plane back to 9/11 where george w. bush is reading to the book called my pet goat. that's when one of his aides whispered in his ear what happened and if any of using pictures from the times, he had quite an expression on his face when he was told which could have been the same for katrina considering his administration's response to it. when they finally moved the list for people that have been suffering in new orleans after they moved into an arena in houston. and barbara bush went and looked around and she actually said this. so many of the people in the arena here were underprivileged anyway, so this is looking well for them. next. the primeremember minister of great britain tony was a great ally of george w. bush and also considered a friend areas they once had a press conference together where bush said he knew what type of toothpastes the prime minister used. i thought well this offers an opportunity for cartoon. and this is based on the iconic photograph that you probably

katrina changed their lives forever. >> we had no money. you know, i mean, because you couldn't use your debit card because everything was -- the storm had destroyed everything. >> they're hoping the people in the path of patricia won't have to go through what they did. if they do, they say it won't be easy. >> i can imagine what them people are going through. >> emergency management experts say the things people need following a disaster is monetary help. because you don't know what people need during a crisis. >> material becomes a burden to people trying to manage the disaster. evacuate earlier when they're told to by the government. if for whatever reason they have followed that advice they have to shelter in place. >> that's easier said than done. the clarks have a message for people in mexico. >> i would give people right now to stick together. to hold on to your beliefs hold on to god and stick together and you can make it through. >> sheryl herd, nbc bay area news. >>> for tourists in puerta vallarta what was hurricane patricia brou

and katrina, this is a challenge, as bakari said, for all candidates.which to handle moments like this and to address the concerns. >> well, i fundamentally disagree with some of the messaging, considering that many of these organizations, including black lives matter, are targeting police officers. so, no, not everyone agrees with the message that this group is sending. and i thought the headlines were going to be hillary clinton ejects protesters from event. because when republicans eject people, that's all over the news. this is a group that is very hostile and very divisive. and hillary clinton, just in her first debate performance, talked about, she wanted to bring everyone together. and aligning with groups like black lives matter is going to do just the opposite. >> all right. >> i have to just say something. >> go ahead. >> to say this group is targeting police officers, it's false on its face and asinine and just not true. >> so the video that's out there doesn't exist? >> i don't think there's any documentation calling for the death of police

what spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasn't recovered the building stock. it's not a good situation. i think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. how do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95% of our homes to be ready for shelter in place after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. we don't lose our work force. we don't lose the people that make san francisco so special. we keep everybody here and that allow us to recover our economy, and everything because it's so interdependent. >> so that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and thank you very much for joining
