摘要:The 2005 hurricane season tested
the mettle of many Eleventh District
communities. In late August, the
threat¡ªthen the reality¡ªof Hurricane
Katrina sent Southeast Louisiana residents
to cities and towns out of the
storm¡¯s path, many of them in the District.
Less than a month later, on Sept.
24, Hurricane Rita slammed ashore near
Sabine Pass, Texas, carrying winds of
over 120 mph and a 15-foot storm surge.
