Today in Class We...

Today in class we finished watching the movie about Hurricane Katrina. We discussed it on todays meet.com. Here are my notes:

• They were tracking the storm in advance.

• People still stayed even though there was a big warning.

• Was a category 1 4 days before it hit New Orleans.

• The army stayed out of the way of the storm but stayed to check the Mississippi River and check the levies.

• Mississippi got hit as well from this storm.

• The city pumps designed only for rainfall, could not take all of the flood water.

• 75% of New Orleans was under water.

• It took over a month to get rid of all of all of the water.

• 60,000 houses were beyond repair.

• 1,300 people died just in New Orleans.

• The levies were under designed.
