Days after the storm had passed and the city had flooded

It should be noted that officially, 1464 of these deaths took place within New Orleans.

The creators of eye of the storm experienced hurricane Katrina in order to tell the story accurately

The name Samantha does not appear on any lists of current hurricane names. The only way for the name Samantha to be used is if a storm with a female name starting with S is bad enough to have that name retired. This probably won't happen any time soon as few hurricane season make it as far as S (storms are named in alphabetical order) and the S name for this year is male.

the effects of the damage Hurricane Katrina caused in New Orleans.

The superdome had extremely poor health conditions while people stayed there during and after hurricane Katrina.

New Orleans floods so easily because it is 5 to in some places over 20 feet below sea level. And, the whole of New Orleans is shaped like a bowl. So, water easily collects in the "center" of the bowl.

WHERE: Formed in Bahamas, then went to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio.

WHAT: A massive hurricane. The most expensive natural disaster yet. Costing around $250 billion US dollars.

WHEN: First formed at 5:00pm on August 23, 2005. Hits Florida. Gains strength through Gulf of Mexico. Hits New Orleans in Louisiana on 29th August. By the fourth of September, over 1800 are dead, and more than 700 missing.

WHY: It became a big disaster because so many people refused to evacuate. Also, the government didn't make the levees strong enough, so a lot of flooding happened.

WHO: The people of Florida and Louisiana mainly. President George Bush and Mayor Ray Nagin were also involved.

Hope this helps!!

Yes, bu not nearly as bad as New Orleans or any other coastal regions.

No. But Katrina was the 6th largest in history. The largest Hurricane? The Great Labor Day Storm. Was the largest.

Yes. Hurricane Katrina hit the east coast of Florida soon after it formed. However, Katrina is best known for its impact on the Gulf Coast, which it struck several days later.

The main contributor to the extremely high death toll of Hurricane Katrina was the failure of the levees in New Orleans, where over 1,400 of Katrina's approximately 1,800 deaths ocurred. Portions of the city of New Orleans are below sea level, with man-made levees holding the water at bay. When a hurricane strikes, it drives seawater up and onto land in what is called a storm surge. Katrina's storm surge broke through the levees in several locations, flooding 80% if the city. A significant number of deaths, over 200, also ocurred in Mississippi. The cities of Gulfport and Biloxi were impacted by the most ntense part of the storm where the storm surge was up to 28 feet high. Large portions of the cities were completely destroyed by the violent waters crashing ashore.

they are not the same. volcanoes may form underwater but the usually produce islands. though a hurricane is a storm in the middle of the ocean containing strong winds and it may contain a lightning storm. then the hurricane heads toward land and destroys just about everything in its path. hope this helped

No. Hurricanes can only happen in coastal areas with warmer climates.

To show the shocking hopelessness felt by many of those who survived Hurricane Katrina

It took then a long time

Because many shops were destroyed it was an oppotunity fro people to take anything which was not harmed due to that there was no security because of the shops which were destroyed

somewhere that depends on the hemisphere
