Best Answer

There were a number of reasons. Many underestimated how bad the storm would be. Some had already experienced hurricanes and had come out unscathed, and so figured this would be the same. Some people were afraid to leav their homes behind. Many of the poor resiedents in the path of the storm did not have the means to evacuate.

How many people died after hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans?

1st of all, people were not thinking when they wanted to stay in new Orleans when they knew the hurricane was coming. i think that they didn't have enough notice, or they didn't have cars to leave the city, or they had nowhere to go, or they had a tradition of staying in the same house for a certain amount of years. i wish that the people of new Orleans had a safe place to go so nobody would have to die. =(


I Defaulted on a credit card after hurricane Katrina can credit collector put a lien against my house and property in state of Mississippi?

If you had a clean record for paying your bill on time with your Credit Card Co., and they are pushing for money owing since Hurricane Katrina, and you had severe property damage then try getting it on the media. It's a low thing to do and they should cut you some slack to get things in order. If you were lucky enough to have no damage to your home during the hurricane and are still working then there is no excuse not to keep paying the credit card company.

How much did it cost to repair Hurricane Ivan's damages?

Well, depending on the type of hurricane, it differs. Hurricane Katrina cost millions of dollars to be able to pay for health insurance, homes, helicopters, space for the people and much more. But, little hurricanes that might only be damaging one house alone could cost hundreds, and maybe all paid by the person who's house had been damaged. So, sorry, but there really is no spacific answer to that. :( -peacemaker101dotcom:)~
