Mission: On the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina — one of the strongest
storms ever to hit the coast of the United States — brought intense winds, high
rainfall, waves, and storm surge to the Gulf of Mexico shores of Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Alabama. Communities in all three states suffered damage,
but this report focuses on the devastation to New Orleans and southeast
Louisiana.
