In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States. With powerful wind gusts, many inches of rain, and a deadly storm surge, the massive hurricane flooded large swaths of New Orleans. The authors examine with step-by-step detail how these natural disasters develop, the scientific methods used to track and predict them, and the measures families should take to protect themselves.
