My name is Paul Peterson and i was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am 42 years old and i now currently live in a trailer by myself. My wife and 2 kids died 5 years ago from one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S history. Hurricane Katrina cost me everything important in my life including family, friends, money and home. The news said that the hurricane formed over the Bahamas on August 23 2005 and crossed Florida causing many deaths and floods before traveling to the gulf of mexico. The hurricane weakened before hitting southeast Louisiana on August 29th 2005 and then the hurricane hit New Orleans. I was told that the levee system catastrophically failed and it all began. I was on a business trip in New York when i heard about the hurricane going to New Orleans. It was too late. I came home the day after the hurricane hit my home town. New Orleans was 80% flooded and at that moment our breezy beach house felt like the worst mistake I've ever made. My house was gone and my family was no where to be found. I was left alone searching for them for days. I lost hope after a month passed but still to this day on August 28th i gather with my survivng friends and we sit and remember all of the ones we have lost.
