Hurricane Katrina

       

        Hurricane Katrina was a category 5 hurricane until it hit land. The governor of New Orleans issued a mandatory evacuation for New Orleans. However, some people who did not have a car or could not evacuate were moved into the Super Dome. Some people think that this was not the best decision becasue there was apparently a lot of criminal activity and shortages of basic needs.

        The worst part of the storm was the aftermath because some family members were not found and others did not make it. People were looting stores and taking items that did not belong to them. I think that the water did the most damage because the levees broke and thousands of homes were flooded. The whole south was affected by Katrina, not just Louisiana. This recent flooding was a flashback to the devastation of Katrina.
