Title: Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina- The most destructive hurricane ever
A hurricane is defined as a tropical storm in which the winds blow at a very high constant speed that is equal to or more than 74 miles/hr. The eye of this storm has the width of nearly 20-30 miles and it can extend itself upto 400 miles. The major threats of this storm consist of huge surges of storm and torrential rainfalls [1].
 Katrina was a huge, largest and 3rd sturdiest hurricane that causes landfall in the US.  It was an immense storm with a very discrete eye and a minimum central pressure of 902mb. Hurricane Katrina that hit Atlantic, on 23rd August 2005, was an extremely damaging hurricane that was responsible for more than 1800 deaths and overall damage of nearly $125 billion.  It was recorded as “the worst hurricane ever or the worst catastrophe” as it caused so many fatalities. This hurricane majorly impacted the New Orleans city and the nearby zones. It was the utmost devastating category 5 hurricane, as per the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, in which the wind blows at the rate of minimum 157 miles per hour. Due to such high winds, trees and electricity poles falls, many mounted homes were destroyed, their roof falls and walls was completely collapsed. 
This storm was recorded as the 3rd major hurricane of the Atlantic region and 4th-most intense hurricane of the adjoining United States. Due to the strong central pressure of this, it was also recorded as the storm fifth most powerful Atlantic hurricane [2,3]. 
Routes and Timeline of Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina was initiated from the tropical depression which was formed from the melding of a tropical wave and the fragments of tenth tropical depression. This depression later gets exaggerated into a huge tropical storm then headed westward toward the region of Florida and finally strengthen into a distressing hurricane. Katrina quickly strengthened over the oddly hot seawaters of the twisted Current in just few hours. Three days later after weakening of its storm strength in Florida, it was again intensified and arose into the seawaters of Gulf of Mexico on 26th of August 2005. Then, on 28th of August, Katrina touched its peak strength of maximum wind speed of 175 miles per hour at around 1800 UTC and later on August 29 this hurricane ended its last landfall close to the opening of the Pearl River over Mississippi and regions of southeast Louisiana as Category 3 hurricane with reduced wind speed of 125 miles per hour. After that, its strength was getting downgraded as it headed towards the tropical depression close to Clarksville, Tennessee. Finally on 31st August, its remnants were captivated by the cold front of the region of Eastern Great Lakes [4,5].

Damages occurred due to Hurricane Katrina
The major damages that occurred due to this hurricane are mainly due to the floods. From the results of a series of investigations made about the reason of this deadly storm and it was concluded that failure of the flood-control systems designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was mainly responsible for this. Major fatalities in New Orleans occurred because majority of the tracts of the city were flooded with water and demolished most of the transportation and communication facilities of the city of New Orleans'. Because of this, thousands of people were not able to evacuated the city previous to the stranded landfall and died due to the shortage of food, accommodation, healthcare and other elementary supplies [6]. 
In New Orleans, the disaster was so massive that it provoked the colossal national response and the international retort and multiple centralized, homegrown, and secluded liberation actions were operated for evacuating the expatriate individuals out of the New Orleans city during the subsequent weeks.  But these emergency responses were not satisfactory and hence widely criticized, due to which Michael D. Brown, the director of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Eddie Compass, Superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) resigned. Unlike this, for their timely help and remarkable work several service agencies like the USCG (United States Coast Guard), NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), NHC (National Hurricane Center), and NWS (National Weather Service) were widely applauded because of their efforts and movements. The National Hurricane Center was specifically commended for giving the correct forecasts beforehand as on the afternoon of 26th August 2005, the National Hurricane Center apprehended that Katrina was turning toward the Florida and ended upto the Mississippi coast and issued various tropical cyclone warnings and timeframes during the entire period of Katrina in the Florida and the Gulf Coast. Voluntary and compulsory evacuations were issued for large areas of southeast Louisiana as well as coastal Mississippi and Alabama. Approximately 1.2 million inhabitants of the Gulf Coast were instructed via a obligatory order to evacuate the area with an immediate effect [7]. 
Emergency was declared in designated regions of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi on 27th of August 2005 by that time President George Bush. In Louisiana, the state's hurricane evacuation plan was executed in three phases- starting with immediate coast 50 hours before the beginning of tropical-storm-force winds, 40 hours before the start of tropical storm winds and 30 hours before the commencement of such winds. Mississippi state activated the National Guard on 26th August for the groundwork of storm's landfall.  In agreement with Governor Blanco, president Bush ordered the mandatory evacuation of New Orleans. On 28th August, the National Weather Service's New Orleans delivered a gaudily worded bulletin that forecasts that after the overwhelming damages caused by the hurricane Katrina, the concerned area would be squalid for weeks [8].  
Similarly, emergency was declared in Florida on August 24 by Governor Bush. The progress of hurricane Katarina was closely monitored and before this hurricane moved on shore, educational institutes and businesses were shut in the Miami area and travel path of the cruise ships was altered because of the closing of seaports in the south eastern region of Florida. Mandatory evacuation order was also released for the residents of the vulnerable house of the Martin County. The chief airports like the Miami International Airport, International Airport of Hollywood and the Keys Marathon Airport of Florida were closed due to the storm. Shelters were opened for the residents all across the region. On August 28, the existing Governor of Alabama Bob Riley avowed a state of emergency due to the forthcoming Hurricane Katrina. On the same day, he demanded President Bush to announce "expedited major disaster declaration" for six major counties of the South Alabama, which was rapidly accepted. Later, when this storm approached Alabama on August 28, Governor Riley also avowed emergency for the impending Hurricane Katrina and around 60 emergency accommodations were established on the coastal communities [9]. 
Katrina also caused a reflective influence over the environment as it triggered extensive erosion of beach and formed totally distressing coastal areas. For example, in the Dauphin Island and Chandeleur Islands, landfall occurred due to the hurricane and therefore the island was pushed toward the land. As per the survey of US Geological department nearly 560 km2 of land, which was the breeding grounds for marine mammals, pelicans and migratory species was transformed to water and approximately 20% of the local marshes were enduringly infested by the water due to the impact of hurricane Katrina. Along with this, due to the damaging impacts of the hurricane Katrina around 16 National Wildlife Refuges were closed and due to this, the habitats of sea turtles, red-cockaded woodpeckers, Mississippi sandhill cranes and Alabama Beach mice were lost. This hurricane also results in the enormous loss of trees along the Louisiana's Pearl River Basin of Gulf Coast and in the hardwood forests. Additionally, a large number of residents were left jobless. This substantial loss in the biomass instigated larger decay and upsurged carbon emissions. 
In the south-eastern Louisiana,
