Hurricane Katrina
In late August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana and Mississippi. The storm surge caused the break of the levees in more than 50 places, causing severe flooding in over 80% of the city including the metro area. Over 1,800 people lost their lives due to the flooding. This hurricane remains the costliest and one of the five most deadly hurricanes to hit the United States. The city remains in recovery. -
