In 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, especially New Orleans. Katrina resulted in over 1800 deaths. It is estimated that the hurricane caused $81 billion in damage to property. On the anniversary of Katrina, Isaac could cause a lot of harm. The storm will result in an estimated $1.2 billion in damages. Many people have had to be rescued from flooded homes. Isaac has already killed seven people in the US. Support those at risk from Isaac.
