Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina was an extremely destructive and deadly cyclone and is ranked among the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. This hurricane disrupted many citizens lives in the south and ruined most of their belongings, maybe all they had. This left many people with no homes and the feeling of loss.
Hurricane Katrina was the largest and 3rd strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall in the United States. In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3 hurricanes, but Katrina was at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 mph. The levees ended up breaking and flooding the city of New Orleans. I pray for the families that lost loved ones or that are still recovering from this horrific event. I also pray that we all stay safe during this hurricane season.

I really like how you used the exact number to show how severe the hurricane was. I hope your family was safe during the last hurricane.
ReplyDeleteI like how you gave some history of Katrina, some that I didn't even know! The sentence, "This left many people with no homes and the feeling of loss." is such a strong and grasping sentence that makes me keep reading because you never really specify what kind of loss it is so it makes the reader infer and I like that. Family loss? The emotional feeling? The feeling of having things you love disappear?
