W.H. question
Hurricane Katrina
"My whole life changed because of Hurricane Katrina," says Jerry Longman. "My
house and my neighborhood disappeared in that terrible day." Jerry was living in
New Orleans when the hurricane hit. The waters flooded the city and destroyed
hundreds of buildings. Jerry is lucky to be alive.
Hurricane Katrina hit the United States on August 29, 2005. It was one of the worst
hurricanes that ever happened in the United States: 1800 people died and one million
people had to leave their homes. It was especially bad in New Orleans, where 80% of
the city was covered with water.
When the hurricane hit, Jerry was at home with his grandfather. He remembers, "The
water started coming into the house and soon it was more than a meter high. We
made a big hole in the roof so we could get out. We waited on the roof for two days.
Finally a helicopter came and rescued us.
Barbara Shell's neighborhood was destroyed. She and her family had to live in an
emergency center with 30,000 people for a week. Then, they went to live with friends
in New York for a year. When Barbara returned to New Orleans, she joined an
organization that helps other survivors. "People lost everything they owned," she
says. "Some people even lost family members and friends. These people will suffer
for a very long time."
It has taken years for the survivors to start their new lives. Some people built their
houses again in their old neighborhoods. Others left New Orleans and moved to
different cities. Lucy Jones, a 13-year-old, says that she learned something important.
"It was really hard. Sometimes we didn't even have food or water. But I was thankful
that I didn't lose my family or friends. The experience taught me just how important
family and friends are."
