  7. in my opinion, this was so sad. people's home,jobs, businesses,cars,families were lost. they were without water,food, and power. and some were without families. they had to sleep in shelters and hold signs up asking for food and for water. its so sad that they had to live this way and go through the things they went through, no one will ever understand how hard it was for them.

  9. My mother's side of the family is from New Orleans so I remember Hurricane Katrina like it was yesterday. I remember seeing people standing on top of buildings attempting to escape the horror below them so vividly. I remember Kanye West speaking the truth about President Bush to America so vividly. I remember having family from New Orleans come and live with us in Atlanta until it was suitable for them to go home so vividly. Hurricane Katrina was a national tragedy that should be respected and remembered forever.

  10. Hurricane Katrina was a tragic and devastating storm that hit most of Louisiana back in 2005. Many people died and many people lost pieces of there family that day. I have no memories of the storm but I could only imagine being in my home and a storm was slowly approaching and I could do nothing but wait. I feel sorry for the ones who lost people from their family. I could only imagine going to a part of your house thinking you were safe and then feeling mighty winds beat my house down and feel the room rising above the ground. I'm glad I wasn't in that devastating storm.

  11. My opinion over Hurricane Katrina is that, it was a tragic and horrifying time. Many people had to leave their homes, their city, and their lives because of this storm. When the people returned their homes were damaged, it really was a horrifying and tragic time. Windows were blown out, there was a flood, a little Boy's parents were ripped off in the storm and people had to walk through the flood water just to evacuate the premises. It honestly was a very tragic and horrible time.

  12. This is a very terrible incident that happened.Am sure the people who were killed or injured from Hurricane Katrina are not very well up to today.The 12 year old boy who's family house roof was ripped by the Hurricane surely never had no one and did not even know if his family was alive.This is why people need to be thankful for their lives no matter where you are or what you have.

  28. My memory of Hurricane Katrina was the fact that the winds was so strong it ended up taking my trampoline from my backyard, to slamming it in my neighbors house. Me and my sister only had the trampoline for such a limited to, so even though i'm now 17 i still try to persuade my parents to get my sister and I another trampoline. My last memory of the Hurricane, was when our power went out my mother forced all of us to play uno like children.

  50. I don't have any memories of Hurricane Katrina. But my opinion of the article is that I felt extremely hurt looking a people struggling for survival. Only because I put myself in that kind of situation and to be honest I don't know how I would've made it through that obstacles. I look at Louisiana's residents as the strongest people ever close to slaves because they survived, relocated, then went back to there hometown no matter what happened in 2005.

  51. All I remember from hurricane Katrina is that there were a lot of my family members who were displaced. I also remember meeting a lot of new students who were from New Orleans.

  58. Wes Craven created many iconic horror movies. He produced the series, "A Nightmare on Elm Street" which will give people nightmares for generations throughout time. Unfortunately, we will not be able to get a further extension of the Freddy Crooger legend as we know it. Craven will have a legacy that will live forever and will not be able to be emulated.
