Quarter 3-outside reading

For this blog post on natural disasters I watched a video on hurricane Katrina. Even though Hurricane Katrina happened a while ago, it is a disaster that will never be forgotten. Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans back in August 2005. This category five hurricane was one of the deadliest to hit the United States. Thousands of people and their families had to evacuate very quickly- only able to grab a few belongings and most of them unfortunately didn't make it out alive. I can only imagine what it would have been like to have to pack up everything that meant something to you and just flee to a whole new town. It must have been very hard and scary to see everything you once knew and worked hard for get ruined by water. There are people who are still to this day trying to get back to the life they once lived before the hurricane. Many people lost jobs and are living on the streets because they cant afford a home. The devastation and damage was so great that most of the people were not able to return home so they had to learn to move on and start over and just make the best of what they had now-some people were able to do this and be successful and there are some people who still haven't moved on from what happened.Katrina was a life changing event that devastated the lives of many Americans.
