Hurricane Katrina

Our hurricane detection and warning systems are fairly effective, and i doubt a school would be open during a highly destructive hurricane any more than a snow day.

A footnote about the fate of William Frantz Elementary.

I saw a documentary about the valiant effort of the locals rebuilding New Orleans despite little or no outside help. (Sorry, I don't remember the name of the show.) One of the buildings featured was this very school. The outside doesn't look bad, but the flood damage inside made it unusable. The school would have been torn down if not for a lady who is leading a successful effort to restore it. Her name is Ruby Bridges Hall and this school has a special meaning for her. Fifty years ago Ruby walked into the school, with four marshals acting as her bodyguards, as she became the first black child to enroll in an all white school in the south. Norman Rockwell immortalized that moment in his famous painting "The Problem We All Live With." It seems appropriate that the little girl who made the school a landmark grew up to be the woman who would save it.

Hurricane Sandy formed in the Caribbean Sea and tracked northward striking Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas. The storm then grew immensely in size as it moved parallel to the U.S. east coast before turning westward and making landfall in New Jersey.

Hurricane Katrina caused the cancellation of Mardi Gras in New Orleans in 2006. The storm severely damaged the city, and many residents were displaced or unable to return in time for the celebration. It was the first time in 150 years that Mardi Gras festivities were suspended in New Orleans.

Yes. Hurricane Katrina was incredibly destructive, but it was by no means the strongest hurricane on record. At peak intensity, Hurricane Katrina has sustained winds of 175 mph and a minimum central pressure of 902 millibars (lower pressure means a stronger storm).

The position for highest sustained winds for an Atlantic hurricane is tied between Hurricane Camille (1969) and Hurricane Allen (1980), both of which peaked with sustained winds of 190 mph.

In terms of pressure, Katrina is the 6th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record. First place goes to Hurricane Wilma, with a minimum central pressure of 882 millibars.

The severity of a storm's impact is not purely a result of its intensity. In factm by landfall, Katrina had weakened to a 125 mph category 3. The incredible destruction from Katrina resulted from a combination of the storm's strength, large size, and where it hit. The major factor was the failure of the levees in New Orleans.

I myself have looked into this because of the book. i f you find anything let me know but there has to be some kind of journal or story from back then, 2nd .does Europe have hurricanes?

yes just looked it up there are hurricanes in Europe

Hurricane Katrina formed over the Bahamas and traveled westward across the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall in Louisiana. In total, Hurricane Katrina traveled over 1,000 miles during its path of destruction.

The eye of a hurricane is formed due to the Coriolis effect causing air to spiral inward toward the center of low pressure. As this air converges, it descends and forms a calm, cloud-free area at the center of the storm. The warm, moist air rising from the ocean fuels the hurricane and helps maintain the eye.

It varies widely. Some of the smallest eyes are around two to three miles wide. A normal size eye is about 15 to 30 miles wide. A very large eye can be over 60 miles wide. Generally the stronger the hurricane the smaller the eye.

A socialist system of governance has multiple characteristics. These include high taxation regimes to redistribute capitol, welfare states themselves, communal property and state owned enterprises.

18 known people died in hurricane bob and about 190 were injured!!!!

You can tell a hurricane is a hurricane by the winds are swirling and it seems stormy. It most likely happens in tropical places. Just to tell you, hurricanes are bad!!!! So don't go to Florida!!

The conflict could have been prevented through open communication, constructive dialogue, and a willingness to compromise from all parties involved. Building trust, understanding each other's perspectives, and addressing issues early on could have helped prevent the escalation of the conflict. Additionally, involving a neutral mediator or third party to facilitate discussions could have also been beneficial in finding a resolution.

Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage throughout the Gulf Coast and became the costliest hurricane to hit The United States at an estimated $81 billion.

Dale Earnhardt's crash itself likely could not have been prevented, but him dying in it may have been prevented had he been wearing a HANS device. It should be noted that had he not died, we likely would not have the SAFER Barriers that are at almost every single racetrack today, but had those been in existence, Dale Earnhardt would almost certainly still be with us.

The Purple Heart was amended in 1942 to allow for those wounded or killed as a result of enemy action to receive the medal. This change expanded the eligibility criteria beyond those wounded in combat to include those injured or killed through hostile acts by an enemy.

There have been at least 15 hurricanes to hit the United States since the year 2000. The names of the hurricanes have been Allison, Isabel, Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Katrina, Rita, Wilma, Zeta, Ernesto, Gustav, Ike, Irene and Sandy,

The commission named to respond to the hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas in 1900 was comprised of city leaders, engineers, and other experts tasked with overseeing the rebuilding efforts and implementing measures to prevent future disasters. They were responsible for shaping the city's new infrastructure and creating a seawall to protect against future storms.

Hurricane Katrina affected the water supply because it became contaminated by flooding water. The water was not drinkable because of the toxins and environmental contaminants that were mixed with it, along with the seawater.

i dont know.

The largest hurricane ever was Super Typhoon Tip, which had a diameter of 2,220km (1,380 mi), which is half as large as the continental United States. However, there is little doubt that a tropical cyclone larger than that will form sometime in the future.

A hurricane can bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surge, and flooding. These can cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure, lead to power outages, and result in loss of life. It is important to take precautions and follow evacuation orders to stay safe during a hurricane.

Other names for hurricanes include cyclones and typhoons. These terms are used in different regions of the world - cyclones are found in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, while typhoons occur in the Northwest Pacific.

Hurricanes primarily occur in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, typically between 30 degrees north and south of the equator. They commonly hit coastal areas along the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Indian Ocean basins. These regions include the southeastern United States, the Caribbean, Central America, East Asia, and the northern coast of Australia.

Hurricane Katrina struck a number of locations. Katrina first formed near the Bahamas and then crossed southern Florida The storm then intensified over the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall in Louisiana and Mississippi, devastating the cities of New Orleans, Gulfport, and Biloxi.

According to a report given at Building Online (see related links), The American Redcross estimated approximately 275,000 were destroyed in Louisiana, 65,000 in Mississippi and Alabama during Hurricaine Katrina.

It was reported that more than 1,800 people died, and more than $81 billion dollars in damages where lost. 80% of the state of Louisiana became flooded and also large tracts of neighboring parishes, and the floodwaters lingered for years. People lost their homes and lives. Some survived, but anyway they surely or most likely had dead relatives or friends. There was an enormous loss of money, and that could have been a cause for more deaths and illness
it was a big disaster but the houses were blowing every where and trees were being riped out of the ground.
