With Davis's connections to New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina, he spent numerous hours surveying aerial photos of the flooding, as well as studying the causes of the levee and flood wall failures. He presented a paper on this at several conferences, including the American Meteorological Society convention and Mississippi State University Severe Storms Symposium.
