Answer 4

It was the most costly disaster in American history, I think. More people were killed by the levee collapses than by the actual hurricane, the collapse came a day after the storm. The significance is that the government sat there and did not do anything. Many people think it was racist on the part of the Bush Administration since many, not all of the people stuck in New Orleans were Black and some Hispanic, although there were a lot of whites, possibly lower income people. Many people thought FEMA would take care of them in the case of a natural disaster. It had worked in floods and tornadoes, but Katrina was just too big or they just were not ready.

Answer 5

It was a horrible hurricane! One of the worst of all times
