Katrina was a devastating occurrence. I watch some of a
documentary for this blog and it was very informative. It was sad that people
were still left in the city, but most of them choose to stay or they didn’t have
transportation. I also never knew that the Super Dome’s roof was blown off by
Katrina. This to me was an astonishing thing. The video said that the building
was built to withstand 200 mph winds, that is so crazy.
I also thought to myself, could it of been a government
officials fault for more people dying. Should they have called an emergency evacuation
earlier. Some say yes and others no. I guess it is just how you look at it. I didn’t
realize that New Orleans was as poor as it was. The city’s poverty rate was
double the national average. This hurricane (hopefully) will be the worst
hurricane that the U.S.A will have to prepare for. I hope that we have learned
that we need to prepare better in the future.
I thought it was crazy that the Superdome could hold up those winds, too. I personally think the government should've stated the warning a little earlier whenever the storm formed. Other than that, I liked how your post and your reaction to certain things that happened in the hurricane.
ReplyDeleteI never knew the roof of the Super Dome was blown off either. 200 miles per hour...that really is insane. I liked how you gave us your reaction and not just facts. Good job Ryan!
