SukritiStorm Is Brewing
On August 25, 2005, when Hurricane Katrina reached the coast of Florida it was measured as a category 1 storm. The then Governor Jeb Bush announced emergency and the very next day the hurricane was becoming more dangerous that within a day it was declared a category 2 hurricane. Even the Governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco informed about the state of emergency. The White House started help from its end by sending National Guard troops to the affected areas. Sadly, it wasn’t in anyone’s hand to stop the possible harm.
Katrina Heads To New Orleans
On August 27, 2005, two days after Hurricane Katrina hit the Florida coast, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin declared an optional evacuation for the metro-area residents. While the danger of the hurricane was underestimated by everyone, by the next morning the hurricane was in its giant form. The winds were blowing at a speed of 160miles/hour and it was now a category 5 hurricane at 7 a.m. The situations were worst for all the families stuck in the storm. Sergeant Maroney was about to encounter one such family during those days.
