The Environmental Impact Of Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was a colossal storm with incredibly fierce winds resulting in the death of almost 2000 people. Because of the environmental conditions of the Gulf Coast, Katrina was able to build up wind speed and mass over the water at an exceptional rate. At its strongest, Katrina had hurricane force winds stretching out 104 miles, and tropical storm force winds reaching 230 miles from its eye. After breaching the coast of Louisiana and Mississippi, the

On August 29th, 2005 Hurricane Katrina, also known as Katrina, made landfall along the Gulf Coast. It hit states such as Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. As of today Hurricane Katrina is one the most destructive hurricanes to ever hit the United States. In total Katrina caused over one hundred billion dollars worth of damage. It left people homeless, starving, and in some cases dead. New Orleans, Louisiana was hit the hardest, “New Orleans will forever exist as two cities; the one that existed before that date, and the one after.” Even over a decade later, the effects of Hurricane Katrina can still be felt as the south continues to rebuild their lives and return to some normalcy.

On the morning of August Twenty-ninth, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region. The storm brought the water to about twenty feet high, swallowing eighty percent of the New Orleans city immediately. The flood and torrential rainstorm wreaked havoc and forced millions of people evacuate from the city. According to the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration, Katrina caused approximately one hundred and eight billion dollars in damage. Hurricane Katrina was one of the most destructive disasters have ever occurred in the United States, but it also revealed a catastrophic government at all levels’ failure in responding to the contingency.

Formed off the Bahamas August 23, 2005 and after crossing Florida as a category one hurricane, Katrina entered the Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm. Once in the gulf, she stalled, gained strength and once again became a hurricane. August 28, 2005 Katrina reached the highest category available for a hurricane, category five with winds in excess of one hundred and seventy five miles per hour. Downgraded to a category three hurricane before making landfall, Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi took a direct hit from Katrina on August 29, 2005.

Overall, more than a thousand people died due to the hurricane and the following floods, making it the most deadly United States hurricane since the 1928 hurricane in Okeechobee. Places East of the Industrial Canal were the first to flood. By the mid-day on August 29, some twenty percent of the city of New Orleans was under water. By the 30th of August, the remaining people of New Orleans were faced with a city which was almost eighty percent submerged in water, while the already stressed levee system continued to break apart. Hurricane Katrina not only killed many people, it also devastated homes and destroyed lives during its run. New Orleans, Louisiana also had the most amount of deaths happen, due to the levee system failing and causing the city to flood. This happened in a lot of cases just hours after the storm moved inland. After a while, eighty percent of the city and large tracts of neighboring parishes were flooded. However, the worst property damage occurred in coastal areas, like the Mississippi beach towns where over ninety percent of them were flooded. Many boats and casino barges rammed buildings, pushing cars and houses inland; water reached six to twelve miles from the

Cleopatra, past Queen of Egypt, was born 69 BC and died 30 BC in Alexandria, Egypt. In the documentary Cleopatra: First Woman of Power was not as beautiful as others had described her to be. On the other hand, in William Shakespeare's play Antony and Cleopatra, Enobarbus compares her to the goddess Venus. Both of these resources have much information on Cleopatra, but the documentary has a more realistic description. The documentary also gives extra information about Cleopatra that William Shakespeare's play does not provide.

The devastating and deeply rooted traumatic effects of Hurricane Katrina will live in the psyches of the people of New Orleans and beyond for generations to come. Katrina was the largest and third strongest hurricane to make landfall in the United States barreling in as a Category 5 with up to 175 mile-per-hour winds and a 20-ft storm surge that would create a humanitarian emergency with the likes never before seen in the United States. This hurricane caused unimaginable death, destruction, and displacement, leaving a death toll of 1,836 and an unknown number thought to be washed out to sea. The real truth is we will never know exactly how many people lost their lives during Hurricane Katrina.

Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest hurricanes ever to hit the United States. Hurricane Katrina started out as any other hurricane, as the result of warm moisture and air from the oceans surface that built into storm clouds and pushed around by strong forceful winds until it became a powerful storm. Hurricane Katrina formed over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005 and crossed southern Florida as a moderate Category 1 hurricane, causing some deaths and flooding there before strengthening rapidly in the Gulf of Mexico. The hurricane strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane over the warm Gulf water, but weakened before making its second landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on the morning of Monday, August 29 in southeast

When considering the effects of a bipolar disorder on human life, one will realize that it is no simple disorder. In fact, bipolar disorder is immensely complex and bewildering even through a large amount of research and time has been spent studying it. Although there is a lot of information not known about bipolar disorders, it is important to recognize the current knowledge. Thus, the goal of this paper is to provide an analysis of current knowledge of bipolar disorder, including explaining the effects, causation, and incidence of the disorder.

On August 29, 2005, hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a category three storm and brought with it some of the most catastrophic effects that any hurricane has ever left behind. Twenty foot surges of flood water washed into New Orleans after the levees broke, and ended up flooding over 80% of the city. It was now in the hands of the United States government to help the millions of displaced Americans find proper shelter, food, water, and services that were required for their recovery.

On August 29, 2005, the third strongest and biggest hurricane ever recorded in American history hit the Gulf Coast at eight o’clock a.m. The interaction between a tropical depression and a tropical wave created a tropical storm later referred to as Hurricane Katrina (FAQS, 2013). Forming over the Bahamas, Hurricane Katrina gradually strengthened as it moved closer and closer to the Gulf of Mexico. Recorded on August 28th, 2005, Katrina jumped from a category three storm to a category five storm with maximum sustained winds up to 160 miles per hour. Although other hurricanes, such as Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Wilma, exceeded Katrina, this dominant storm was classified as the fourth most intense hurricane

The United States has a problem and its name is “anti-vaccination”. To combat this and the risk it presents to the general public 's health, the California state legislature has passed a law which is a monumental step forward in the quest for worldwide health. For decades, vaccines have been dramatically reducing the rates or even ridding whole continents of deadly diseases, the likes of which were previously thought a normal, albeit horrific, part of childhood. In recent years, a growing number of parents have decided to forgo the doctor-recommended schedule of vaccinations in favor of late or no vaccination at all.

The effects of Hurricane Katrina on the earth and the economy is a subject that is related to both geology and economics. Hurricanes are caused by a pre-existing disturbance, combined with warm ocean water, low atmospheric stability, sufficient Coriolis force, moist mid-atmosphere, and upper atmosphere divergence. On the morning of August 28, 2005, these factors combined to create Hurricane Katrina, which struck the southern coast of the United States. By August 31, 2005, eighty-percent of the city was submerged under water because the storm surge breached the city's levees at multiple points. Hurricane Katrina was an extremely destructive tropical cyclone- one of the most expensive natural disasters and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of America. It was also the most costly disaster overall in the United States until this year, when Hurricane Harvey hit the Gulf Coast. Katrina began brewing over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005. A tropical wave and Tropical Depression Ten worked together to cause the storm to intensify into Tropical Storm Katrina. The cyclone headed toward Florida and strengthened into a hurricane two hours before making landfall at Hallandale Beach and Aventura on August 25, 2005. Katrina emerged into the Gulf of Mexico on August 26 and began to rapidly deepen. The storm strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, but eventually weakened before making its second landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on
