Hurricane Katrina

On August 28th, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the southern coast of the United States with devastating effect. It was reported that more then 1,800 people lost there lives, and more then $81 billion dollars in damages occurred.
As a result, efforts to assist those effected by Hurricane Katrina still continue, as those effected by the terrible hurricane continue to work to regain the health and livelihood that they had before the storm. It was the sixth strongest storm ever! Winds reached speeds of 175 mph!
Hurricanes form from hot air forming of the ocean and get stronger as they go along.
