Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina engulfed coastlines in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama on Aug. 29. To date, the official death toll tops 1,300, and thousands remain displaced. Much of the devastation resulted from dilapidated levees in New Orleans, too weak to withstand Katrina's strength. The flooding shone a spotlight on poor planning and bureaucratic tangles that crippled rescue and relief efforts, adding to the suffering of victims and frustrating onlookers. A month later, Hurricane Rita threatened to devastate Galveston, Texas, but weakened and changed course at the last moment -- another mark of the most active Atlantic hurricane season ever recorded.
