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.
there were many, many people on top of their roofs during "Katrina"
History recorded Hurricane Katrina as spotlighting two major Federal response units that were either untested or inadequate. Both FEMA and the newly formed DHS (Department of Homeland Security) failed to act in a prompt and timely manner.
It means it has been checked for bodies. They write the date, the time and who that has checked the house and the number of bodies found.
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. =(
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.
in the house idiot
Yes, It Did. I Was actually 6 when that happened. And we didnt have water for 8 days. And a guy had to come bring food in a truck! It Was Horrible. I Lived In a Trailor house too!
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:)~
most people who lived in the danger area evacuated. But the brave ones, like people in my family, stayed. We waited in our house as much as possible. then we climbed on the roof. it was hard too stay on the roof.
This phrase refers to the practice of keeping axes and other tools and supplies in the attic to chop a hole in the roof to climb out of a house in the event of a catastrophic flood, i.e., Hurricane Katrina.
yes. a hurricane can lift a houso out of the ground.
This so top secret- . In a house
