Katrina
by Zuzana Valkova


You would say how beautiful name. But after the August 2005 in the United States, is this name one of the most hated. Hurricane Katrina came to the New Orleans area and destroyed everything what was in its way. The day before, started one of the biggest evacuation actions in the history. On August 29 died 1464 people, mostly elderly and poor people, who didn't have a chance to leave the city. The main problem caused by this hurricane was that the strength of it destroyed about 50 flood walls and levees near the city. So the water didn't have any other barrier and could easily drown the city. Many people weren't able to leave the city, so they had to swim in that dangerous, dirty, cold water and try to find a place where to stay. Others had to hide on the roofs of their houses or in totally strange buildings. 80 % of the city was under the water. Somewhere was the water level 15 feet high. New Orleans stadium called Superdome became the refugee camp for people who remained there. People from all over the country came to help to army and doctors to save and care about injured or weak people. Many people brought food, clothes, and many donate their money. Lots of people help with searching for people alive and cleaning the mess. All the country came together. It's sad that they could do this only because of hurricane like this.Katrina was hurricane category 5. It didn't affect only Louisiana and New Orleans, but also Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Cuba and Bahamas.
