Natural Disasters

The text I found about Natural Disasters was about Huriccane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina happened on the 28th of August a little over three years ago. Hurricane Katrina wiped out most of New Orleans and killed many and left many homeless. Today the city is still not back to what it was and the people will always be remembered. Hurricane Katrina not only killed many people and left many homeless but not to mention the hit the economy took as well. Hurricane Katrina alone costed a total of 100 billion dollars in damage and also impacted the oil industry as well. The amount of barrels made were reduced to 1.4 million barrels a day and the price of gas had reached a record high on the monday following the storm. Reading this article about Hurricane Katrina made me think about a movie I watched in 8th grade about Hurricane Andrew in Florida and how devestating it was before and after the storm. That movie really put you in the spot the people were in and how scared they were. Overall this article really shows what a natural disaster can do to people and a nation as a whole.
