Why is the Mississippi delta is shrinking?
There are two main factors contributing to the shrinking of the Mississippi River Delta. 1) Dams and Reservoirs along the Mississippi River trap between 70 - 90 % of the sediment that passes through them. This means that the suspended dirt that makes up the Delta is no longer being replaced as the ocean washes it away. 2) This process is being accelerated by rising ocean temperatures causing more extreme weather events that pull sediment out into the ocean with them (like Hurricane Katrina)
Where did Hurricane Katrina hit?
The hurricane hit the southeast United States, but caused the most damage to New Orleans, since the city is below sea level.Hurricane Katrina made three landfalls in the US. The first was in southeast Florida as a Category One. The second was near the mouth of the Mississippi River (Category 3 or 4), and the last around Waveland, Mississippi as a Strong Category 3.Some levees in New Orleans (proper) didn't falter until the storm was well inland. Mississippi suffered as much catastrophic damage from Katrina as eastern New Orleans, with houses washed away for hundreds of yards from the shore. Mississippi was in the Northeast quadrant of the storm,which is the most dangerous quadrant for winds and tornadoes. In Waveland, MS there were Category 3 winds and a high storm surge inundating areas south of Highway 90 and Interstate 10 for about 5 or 6 hours, but the water receded rather quickly because the area is above sea level.To clarify:New Orleans' Ninth Ward received the most damage, which was due to flooding caused by the levee breaking. But the Mississippi gulf coast received the most storm (wind) damage. The damage from the initial hit in southern Florida was comparatively minor.
