Natural Disaster

I read an article about Hurricane Katrina

The article included stories form individuals who were effected by the disaster.
One of the stories was from Vanessa Hammons. Vanessa had to evacuate from her city, so she grabbed what she could and left. After being away from home for a while, she started to run low on money, so she tried to go use an ATM.
"I couldn't access my account until the day after Labor Day. I had two dollars to my name. I couldn't do anything. All the ATM machines were out. All the credit cards weren't working."
Vanessa was one of many who had no money after Katrina. It devastated many people and brought a halt to their lives. It is hard to imagine what it would be like to have to evacuate your home and to have no money because of something that i out of your hands. Their are so many people that struggled to stay off of the streets because of this hurricane, but sadly that is where many of the survivors ended up. It is hard not to be thankful that these people survived, but it is devastating to think that they have suffered so much. Natural disasters are inevitable and no one ever forgets ones like Katrina, but the effects of them last for a long time and people can't forget about the survivors that struggle with the effects a long time after the storm is gone.
