Some of the events I remember about Hurricane Katrina is that it devastated New Orleans. Also, it took a very long time to restore New Orleans back to its original state.

I remember that it took a long time for the preseident and the governer to take action in trying to build new houses. The hurricane keep alot of people out of their homes they had to live in the dome,which only held out for a little while and then the roof started to come off. Still today they have not completely brought back all the things that were lost. Many lives were lost and people are still grieveing today. The after of Katrina is still there,only a few homes have been restored.
