Geoff Bennett:
It has been 20 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama coasts. More than 1,300 lives were lost in the storm’s wake, the majority in New Orleans.
While Katrina remains the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history, the deepest impact is found in the human suffering and the long, difficult journey toward recovery.
For our series Tipping Point, Lisa Desjardins recently traveled to the region to explore the lessons learned by the U.S. and what still lies ahead as weather has become even more extreme.
