Which of the following factors contributed to Hurricane Katrina’s becoming one of the deadliest natural disasters in US history?


Climate change decreased the number of tropical cyclones that form in the Atlantic basin, causing coastal residents to be inadequately prepared.

Heavy rainfall from the hurricane overwhelmed aging levees and flooded areas that were below sea level and populated mainly by families with low incomes.

The hurricane caused a tsunami that flooded low-lying areas all along the Gulf Coast and destroyed most of New Orleans.

Government officials inaccurately predicted the hurricane’s path, leading many residents to remain in the most vulnerable areas.

Answer: Heavy rainfall from the hurricane overwhelmed aging levees and flooded areas that were below sea level and populated mainly by families with low incomes.

Explanation: The third option also counts but it was more about the destruction it caused than "where" it caused destruction. The amount of rainfall, the strong wind onshore, the state of the tide, and even the size of the hurricane itself killed over 1,200 people leaving an estimated cost of $108 billion in property damage.

Basically, Hurricane Katrina sucked cause it killed people but to me, its pretty awesome. Natural disasters are pretty cool.
