A hurricane called Katrina came this way
23.08.2009
It began over the Bahamas on 23 August 2005. It hit south-east Louisiana on the morning of Monday, 29 August and caused severe loss of life and property damage. At least 1,836 people died in New Orleans, and 80 per cent of the city was flooded as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
Crisis consultant Randall Bell wrote: "Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was the largest natural disaster in the history of the United States. Preliminary damage estimates were well in excess of $100 billion."
Four years after Hurricane Katrina, people are moving into new houses. Read "Good to be home" by Brian Gauvin in the September Spotlight.
