Hurricane Katrina made landfall near New Orleans, LA. on August 29, 2005 at 6:10am after 11:00am several sections of the levee system protecting New Orleans failed allowing the storm surge to submerge almost the entire city. Over a million people were displaced, and many lives lost, creating a humanitarian crisis unprecedented in the U.S. The property damage caused by Katrina will go down as the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. |
