Synopsis by Perry Seibert
NOVA: Hurricane Katrina - The Storm That Drowned a City analyzes how Hurricane Katrina became a storm powerful enough to destroy the great city of New Orleans, Louisiana. The program employs scientists, weather experts, victims, and archival footage to show how the tropical storm built into a category five hurricane, and how the city was unprepared for such a powerful onslaught.
