2008

On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina passed east of New Orleans, Louisiana. Winds were in the category 4-5 range and the tidal surge was category 5. The storm surge caused levee breaches in New Orleans resulting in the worst engineering disaster in U.S. history. By August 31, most of the city’s levees were breached and 80% of New Orleans was flooded. These breaches were responsible for at least two thirds of the flooding in the city. Ninety percent of the residents of southeast Louisiana were evacuated (CNN.com, 2005).
