@weatherhubxx: Hurricane Katrina struck the U.S. Gulf Coast in August 2005 as one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes in American history, devastating New Orleans when levee failures caused catastrophic flooding. The storm killed over 1,800 people, displaced hundreds of thousands, and left much of the city uninhabitable for months. Government response, especially from FEMA, was widely criticized for being slow and disorganized, fueling public anger and highlighting deep social and racial inequalities. #katrina #Hurricane #History #neworleans #louisiana
