Hurricanes are some of the most destructive forces on the planet, along with tornadoes, earthquakes, monsoons, volcanoes, and alien invasions. One of the most devestating and most powerful recorded hurricanes of all time, though, was Hurricane Katrina. During Hurricane Katrina, over 1,800 people were killed. The US government tried to help as much as they could down south, but the $81,000,000 worth of damage was just too much for one government to pay for and aid all themselves. On that fateful day of August 28, 2005, nobody would have been able to determine or even begin to try and comprehend the massive amount of damage and heart-break that this hurricane would've brought. Many people tried to wait it out because of some emotional attachment they had to the house or their hometown, and because of this, their whole lives were flipped upside-down. Most losing their homes, many others losing their lives and all of their belongings. Natural disasters truly are God's little reminders that he is there and he is powerful and capable of disasters greater than our imaginations can even begin to try and interpret.
