Hurricane+Katrina

=Hurricane Katrina (Aug. 29, 2005)​=

Overview
Hurricane Katrina is important due to the fact that it hit us and almost basically destroyed an entire state. Hurricane Katrina was rare is was classified and a category 5 and hurricane usually do not get that strong or die out on the way to land. Louisiana, New Orleans, and the south eastern region of the U.S was hit. The reason it was so strong there is many. Some from what we have done to our environment and lack of proper materials used as a blockade. We cannot blame anyone for this as well. Bush's administration received a lot of criticism for how long it took and poorly it was planned out in the beginning for recovery of the states and people.

Critical Issue
Reasons it was so strong Hurricane Katrina so so powerful for many reasons. One reason is that the army core of engineers had a major flaw in the system they had going at the time. They also used inadequate materials to block waters coming in, so they wall was just demolished when the water came. Public safety was also not a top concern right away because the flood control system had failed so the public was not aware of the flooding capability until it was to late. Reason that are not the army core of engineers fault is the loss of marsh lands. Marsh Lands slow hurricane and flooding waters down more than anything what took there spots was open water and water gets stronger and faster in open water. So humans have basically the full responsibility of the hurricane without our meddling it would not have been as bad as it was, the marshes were gone because of us, we were not properly prepared for a hurricane, and our systems were faulty and made of bad materials.

Conclusion
Hurricane Katrina that first of all it hit us. That was one of the strongest storms to ever hit us in our history, and it was our fault. It was our fault because we destroyed the swamps around that area, and used inadequate material for the flood walls. Hurricane Katrina's effects extend the army engineers were sued for the mistake they made in building the flood walls with the materials that they did. The families are pressing charges on them, and most are winning. We also made it stronger by getting rid of the swamps which would have slowed the hurricane down drastically instead of speeding up over the open water.
