Flooding of the City
Hurricane Katrina is one of the the deadliest and most traumatic hurricanes to ever hit the United States. It produced catastrophic damage that cost an estimate of about $75 billion dollars. It hit mainly in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Mississippi coast. Katrina is responsible for a reported 1,200 deaths; about 1000 in Louisiana and 200 in Mississippi. Buildings and homes all over were demolished resulting in homelessness and the extreme loss of jobs. Pure chaos and struggles were the main result of this eccentric and powerful hurricane that hit one of our countries many treasured cities.
What are some other hurricanes to have hit the United States and caused damage?
