HURRICANE KATRINA On August 29, 2005 at 6:10am CDT, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Katrina was the eleventh named tropical storm, fourth hurricane, and first Category-5 hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season (NOAA, 2005). Katrina first made landfall as a Category-1 hurricane north of Miami, Florida on August 25, 2005. After passing through Florida and over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Katrina made its second landfall as a Category-4 hurricane on the morning of August 29, south of Buras, LA (between Grand Isle and the Mississippi River delta).

STORM IMPACT On Sunday August 28, shortly after hurricane Katrina was upgraded to Category-5, New Orleans mayor C. Ray Nagin ordered the first ever mandatory evacuation of the city. Mandatory evacuations were also ordered for numerous parishes along the storm�s predicted path. Louisiana State Police implemented Contraflow Lane Reversal on Interstate 10 leading west and on Interstates 55 and 59 leading north from New Orleans. By Sunday evening, approximately 1 million people had evacuated the greater New Orleans area. Despite the success of Contraflow evacuation, approximately 150,000 people, mostly poor and disabled, were unable to evacuate the city. Only by Friday September 2 were the remaining people evacuated to neighboring parishes and states.

Figure 2: Hurricane Katrina GOES-12 Infrared Satellite Image (NOAA, 2005).

By mid-September, federal disaster declarations covered 31 parishes, consisting of approximately 26,000 square miles of the State. Katrina left an estimated five million people without power, which took more than two months to stabilize. By November, many parts of New Orleans remained without power. Storm damage caused by Katrina was significant. However, it was the devastating storm surge and subsequent flooding that has made Katrina the most costly storm in U.S. history.

Rainfall amounts for Hurricane Katrina, though considerable in many places, were not the primary impact of the storm. This map illustrates the preliminary rainfall totals (in inches) for the period attributed to Katrina (August 28-30, 2005), for locations with at least two-inches of rain (NOAA, 2005). Please note: totals are incomplete due to storm damage experienced at many stations along the immediate Gulf coast. RAINFALL ESTIMATES

HURRICANE RITA Hurricane Rita was the seventeenth named tropical storm, ninth hurricane, fifth major hurricane, and second Category-5 hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. As of October 19, it was the second-most powerful hurricane of the season. Hurricane Rita is on record as being the second-strongest measured hurricane to ever have entered the Gulf of Mexico after Hurricane Wilma (2005), and the fourth most intense hurricane in the Atlantic Basin.

STORM IMPACT After peaking as a Category-4 hurricane, Rita made landfall between Sabine Pass, Texas, and Johnson's Bayou, Louisiana, at 02:38 CDT on September 24, 2005 as a Category-3 hurricane, with wind speeds of 120 mph and a storm surge of 10 feet. Damage in south-western Louisiana was extensive. In Cameron Parish, the communities of Hackberry, Cameron, and Holly Beach were heavily damaged or entirely destroyed. Many homes of the surrounding areas also experienced damaged and extensive vegetative debris. Lake Charles experienced severe flooding, with reports of water rising 6-8 feet in areas around the lake. Additionally, there were reports of water reaching the second floor of buildings.

STATE WIDE ECONOMIC IMPACT NAICS CLASSIFIED BUSINESSES

The US Census Bureau maintains an annual report of key

economic indicators organized by county. This map depicts the

2003 County Business Patterns (CBP) report detailing the

number of businesses by Parish, per square mile.

The CBP report covers most of the nation�s economic activity.

The series excludes data on self-employed individuals,

employees of private households, railroad employees,

agricultural production employees, and most

government employees.

The CBP program is tabulated on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
