During Hurricane Katrina, many houses were flooded, cars totaled, and people killed. It was extremely unfortunate, especially for those of the people who no longer have anything. These people lost everything in the flood, their house, clothes, furniture, and more. Kind of like 13 year old Antoine Evans. His 3 dogs were lost in the storm, and so was his bike, his clothes and his aunt.
Less than half of the population of New Orleans moved back after the flood, fearing that their houses would get flooded again. Another reason they didn’t move back is because most of the population of New Orleans was low-income families that could not afford house insurance, and couldn’t afford to remake their houses.
This was a very unfortunate natural disaster that affected the whole country and hopefully won’t happen again. But hoping isn’t enough! Try making a book drive and sending them to one of the many organizations that help the hurricane victims. It’s easy to make a difference!
