Anderson Cooper Heads Back To New Orleans For Hurricane Katrina Anniversary

CNN's Anderson Cooper is back in New Orleans, where he made headline 10 years ago for his hard-hitting, emotional coverage of Hurricane Katrina.

In "Katrina: The Storm That Never Stopped," Cooper revisits some of the people he interviewed immediately after the storm hit to look at what their lives were like before the storm and in the decade since. The network is billing the special as a deeply personal journey where "Cooper observes the tenacity of the survivors who continue to struggle every day, grieving for loved ones while trying to rebuild their lives."

Cooper, who was in the Gulf Coast when the storm hit and the levees breached -- and remained in the region for several weeks following the storm -- has said that covering Katrina not only marked a turning point in his career, but also affected him personally.

"Katrina: The Storm That Never Stopped," a CNN special report, airs Tuesday, Aug. 25 at 9 p.m. ET.
