Hurricane John

Even as Hurricane Ernesto was leaving a weak, soggy wake in the Atlantic, Hurricane John exploded to at Category 4 hurricane off the coast of Mexico wreaking havoc on vacations and homes. Hurricane John is the 4th named storm to become a Hurricane in the Pacific. The Atlantic had a comparatively quiet start with Ernesto as the first storm to reach hurricane status.

Category 4 hurricanes are relatively rare and can produce wind speeds over 135 miles per hour. However, the most deadly aspect of any hurricane is flooding as so many witnessed last year in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The Western US is rarely threatened by hurricanes due to the cold currents of the East Pacific Ocean

Hurricane Katrina, 2005 (Robbie Readers)
By: John Albert Torres
List Price: $25.70
Amazon Price: $22.74

Product Description
Americans will long remember 2005 as the year Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf Coast states, killing thousands and destroying everything in its path. Lives were changed forever. Once the hurricane passed, the city of New Orleans faced even more danger. The city s protective levees broke, and the streets began to flood. What followed was chaos. Thousands of people who had not evacuated before the hurricane now sought refuge at the Superdome and other emergency sites. They found these shelters without provisions, support, protection, or rescue as the country s relief efforts floundered with uncertainty. Violence, looting, and general lawlessness followed as desperate city residents felt abandoned by their country. Find out what happened and why, how rescue efforts were finally organized, and what the president promised for the city of New Orleans.
