5. I lived through Hurricane Katrina. First, a tropical storm formed and then it strengthened into a hurricane. The city was under threat, and the mayor declared a state of emergency. Many people were evacuated, but some stayed in temporary shelters. As the waters rose, people begged for help and emergency services struggled to cope. Later, the military arrived and army engineers pumped water out of the city. Many people lost their lives, but New Orleans is making a slow recovery now.
