I would say that most of us remember this hurricane quite vividly.  Hurricane Katrina had formed over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005, and it southern Florida as a Category 1 hurricane.  But it wasn’t done.  It strengthened over the Gulf of Mexico, and it became a Category 5.  On this date in 2005, Hurricane Katrina made its second hit as a Category 3 hurricane over southeast Louisiana.  It was one of the five deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history.  It claimed the lives of at least 1833 people, and its property damage cost at least $81 billion.  I will never forget hearing about this horrible disaster.  I was a teacher in the Dallas area in Texas, and we received quite an influx of people from the disaster.  Even all these years later, I don’t think the area has fully recovered.
