As the storm strengthened to a category 5 hurricane, over a million people were required to leave their homes and evacuate the city of New Orleans. The 20,000 people who chose not to leave, either took cover in their houses or in the Louisiana Superdome (New Orleans braces for monster hurricane, 2005). The storm brought so much flooding that the levees broke, causing the waters from both the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain to drown the city. “On the southern shore of the lake, entire neighborhoods of one-story homes were flooded to the rooflines, with nearby off-ramps for Interstate 10 looking like boat ramps amid the waves” (Treaster & Zernike, 2005). After the Hurricane, what used to be a Six Flags is nothing but an abandoned amusement park.  The park was trapped in seven feet of water for months after the storm is now sometimes a location in horror movies (Robinson, 2014).
