They Know that Katrina is coming and they knew it was a killer storm. the winds were 120 miles per hour. the storm killed 60000 people. it started at a tropical storm with 39 miles an hour. when Ivan hit they had 1/3 of population hit and it wasn't that big. 90% of deaths come from drowning.New Orleans made a flood wall called a Levy which they put in after last hurricane that was a 3.300000 people stay because they thought it was not going to be that bad and thought it was only going to be as bad as hurricane Ivan. 1 day before Katrine was at category 5.The water broke through the levy's and hit the poorest regions the most. then the flood hit through the heart of New Orleans. and the levy's kept the water in.75% of new Orleans were under water 60000 houses were broken beyond repair.
