Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
On August 23rd, 2005, a terrible natural disaster occurred and took place for 8 whole days ending on August 31st, 2005, particularly in New Orleans. It was absolutely devastating for thousands of people, families, businesses, and the community around. This hurricane hit land at a category 3 and had winds up to 125 miles per hour. With the destruction and loss of life, this is considered one of the worst in the US's history. There were many aftermath problems after the storm that included controversies with the federal government on how they responded, difficulties in the search and rescue efforts, a massive lack of unpreparedness, half of the 1,200 deaths were exacerbation of chronic disease from the storm, and the other third were from drowning. There were missing people for days on end.

Hurricane Katrina ended up being one of the costliest hurricanes in the US. The oil and gas industries were crippled after the storm, and the coastal communities that mainly rely on tourists' income suffered from both loss of infrastructure and coastal erosion. "Ten years after the disaster, then-President Barack Obama said of Katrina, "What started as a natural disaster became a man-made disaster—a failure of the government to look out for its own citizens." (Gibbens, 2019.)Populations after this terrible disaster dropped tremendously. By 2019 populations had started to grow again and are now more than 80% of where it was before the hurricane.

Now 16 years later, people are still trying to bring their lives back together after this terrible nightmare that happened to them and changed their lives forever.
