HURRICANE KATRINA
New Orleans, in Louisiana, is known as the most unique city in the United States with distinctive
architecture, cross-cultural heritage and annual music festivals. However, due to its location along
the Mississippi River with lakes on the other side, and nearly half of the city below sea level, the
city faces the danger of flooding. So, a levee system and drainage canals were built to protect the
city.
Early in the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina, the most destructive natural disaster in
the history of New Orleans, struck the city. The storm brought strong winds and heavy rains for
several days. As a result, water from the river and lakes rose, breaking the levees and poured
directly into the city. Soon 80 percent of the city was under the water. People scrambled to rooftops
for safety, desperate for food and drinking water. The winds were so strong that even beds in Hyatt
Hotel were seen flying out of the hotel windows. The loss was tremendous. Most of the major roads
and bridges were destroyed, and houses collapsed. Nearly 2,000 people were killed. After the
storm, several natural grounds for the breeding and migrating of different species of animals and
birds were permanently lost
