The correct option is D. The damage was limited to Louisiana and the New Orleans area was not an effect of Hurricane Katrina. Over 1,800 people died and $100 billion in damaged as a result of Katrina. Due to flooding, New Orleans was particularly heavily impacted. The levees and flood walls of the city were breached by the hurricane's storm surge of 19 feet.
As most of the storm's initial effects pounded the eastern shore near Biloxi, Mississippi, where gusts were the fiercest and damage was severe, officials initially believed New Orleans was spared.
On October 11, 2005, or roughly 43 days after Katrina made landfall, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pumped the last of the floods out of the city. In the end, the storm inflicted damage of more than $160 billion, and between the fall of 2005 and 2011, New Orleans' population decreased by 29%.
