Hurricanes – The Frightening Challenges For New Orleans

Nature is the most valuable thing on the planet. Mother Nature does sometimes get mad, and natural catastrophes happen. This could be a severe storm that causes flooding. It could also be a prolonged drought. Natural disasters can cause pain and injuries to humans, no matter how they happen. Rain can be beautiful, sad, or good depending on how each person feels. But the storm doesn’t. Storm is a danger that has ravaged many people’s lives. It is not good for anything.

On August 28, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the South Coast of the United States. New Orleans was the first area to be hit by the storm. Nearly 2,000 people lost their lives in the storm. The damage caused by this storm to the United States has exceeded $ 81 billion. From the 28th to the 31st of October, eighty percent was submerged under water because the storm had broken the city’s dam. The water breaking the dyke allows large amounts of water from the Mississippi River, coast, and other sources to flow into Louisiana. The storm, which was strong 3, swam over 140 mph when it hit the city. The storm moved quickly from a Category 3 storm and became a Hurricane Category 5. Within 9 hours, storms began to shift through the circular flow. This increased wind speed caused storms’ winds to increase. Many parts of New Orleans are now under 15 feet. The state established an emergency operation unit with 57 locations along the coast. The city was submerged in seawater for many days. Many people lost loved ones, lost their parents, lost their children and were even separated from their mothers. While the government is attempting to evacuate people after a tropical thunderstorm, most plans are private. Private bases rely on private companies and ambulance services to help people who have been killed. Too long a wait caused the loss of life. Katrina devastated the natural habitats and breeding grounds for animals. Seven million gallons of oil leaked into oceans, causing the destruction of thousands upon thousands. Oil pollution is still a problem in some cities. 40% of those killed were drowned and 25% were hurt. Heart disease was responsible for 11%. On Saturday, July 12, 2019, Hurricane Barry struck. Barry overflowed the highway, prompting people to rush for shelter. After torrential rains that became a storm, the system rapidly weakened into a hurricane, landing near Intracoastal, Louisiana. The windfall was 74 mph/hr and 160 miles west of New Orleans. Barry will remain a tropical Depression on Sunday. More than 12 people are still clinging on to the roof due to excessive water. The government has ordered the rescue. To prevent water flooding, many people worked together to remove the sandbags from around their homes. Families often put protective bags around their cars to protect them from flooding. Baton Rouge is home to many businesses that have closed due to wind damage. Large trucks are also being blown out of Baton Rouge. Oil and Gas operators have evacuated hundreds of stations. Jiang also drill in Gulf of Mexico. According to the US Department of Environmental Safety and Enforcement, 70% of oil production and 56% of gasoline production were stopped on Saturday. The storm that hit New Orleans was well-known, and many people moved to safer areas. On Saturday morning, there were more than 70,000. This included 67,000 people from Louisiana and 3,000 people from Mississippi. Rainfall in Alabama and Mississippi caused flooding on some islands, as well as rising waters from Gulf. To ensure that floods do not occur again, governors have ordered New Orleans water barriers to be raised and closed all flooding areas.

Many families fled the area after the storm. Floods led to many lives being made difficult by flooding. These serious losses can lead to many incredible things, including the infiltration and burning of corpses, animals everywhere, homeless people, theft or other serious health problems. New Orleans faces a daunting and difficult task.
