Hurricane Katrina

This topic is heart-wrenching to people everywhere even if they didnt live there. This tragic event created conflict and sorrow to the ones that lost their family as well as friends. It was hard to believe that something like this happened to a particular place. At first when the news reporters were talking about the storm approaching, to be honest I didnt find it that threatning at all. The only storm that I think is just the most terrifying thing on the planet is the tornado. A hurricane is much stronger and causes alot of damage but it doesnt scare me for some reason. Maybe because I've never been in a hurricane and really dont want to at all. A couple of days after the storm news was announced, they followed by informing us that New Orleans had been struck. It wasn't until I seen pictures of the result and it was devastating. I've never before seen a hurricane do this much damage. To me I dont want to believe that this was done by a hurricane. The water that had flooded the entire city of Lousiana was at least 12 feet deep. If the people couldnt swim and they were riding boats to get out of the city, this water must've been deep. The water was the major destruction that effected alot of things. The water damaged houses, it killed people, it caused things to rot and mildew. People's homes were filled to the ceiling and everything else was submerged. President Bush wrote 1 million dollars towards the victims of the hurricane and sent rescue troops out to recover survivors. Survivors were found in terrible condition and were grieving because of the lost of many of their values. Still up to this day, there are still missing people mostly children and havent been found yet. I think the president is real dumb for writing a check for this disaster because the city cannot be repaired. I'm not trying to be cold hearted but there is no hope for New Orleans. Celebs, actors, singers, and etc helped out by donating certain things to the survivors. When the storm came there were also some conflicts that followed. Celebs such as Kanye West for example made a point to some. He brought up the point that President Bush is using discimination against the victims of the hurricane.
