I remember the day before Hurricane Katrina arrived in
New Orleans in August 2005. We received an evacuation order from
the authorities. 80 per cent of the population left New Orleans.
Some people took refuge in the Superdome, a stadium located on
high ground, while others waited at home. I didn't have a car, so!
went to the Superdome. The following day the storm arrived and
the levees broke. About 80 per cent of the city was submerged
under dirty water. Hurricane Katrina killed nearly 2,000 people and
thousands of people lost their homes. It happened nine years ago
but some areas of the city are still full of abandoned houses. Will
New Orleans ever recover from the disaster? There will certainly be
more hurricanes. Will my city still be so vulnerable in the future?

Imi amintesc ziua dinainte ca Uraganul Katrina sa ajunga in New Orleans in august 2005. Am primit un ordin de evacuare de la autoritati. 80% din populatie a parasit New Orleans. Câțiva dintre oameni au avut adapost in Superdome, un stadion, iar alții au ramas acasa asteptand. Nu am avut o masina asa ca m-am dus la Superdome. Ziua urmatoare furtuna a început. Aproximativ 80% din populatie a fost prins sub apa murdara. Uraganul Katrina a omorât aproape 2000 de oameni si sute de oameni și-au pierdut casele. Cu toate ca s-a întâmplat acum noua ani, câteva cartiere din oras inca sunt pline de case abandonate. Oare New Orleans se va recupera vreodata dupa acest dezastru? Cu siguranță vor mai fi uragane. Oare orasul meu va mai fi atat de vulnerabil si in viitor?
