Today marks the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest and costliest natural disasters in the history of the United States.
Many residents lost their lives and their homes with total property damage estimated at $81 billion dollars. Today, a massive project costing nearly $15 billion dollars is well under way to connect and strengthen the levees, flood walls, gates and pumps to protect the residents and cities that failed five years ago.
