More Hurricanes

Recently, there have been several different hurricanes and natural disasters affecting the Gulf Coast. Last week, Hurricane Gustav was rushing into the Gulf Coast and unfortunately aimed for the South. New Orleans, Louisiana already had been devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, so it was a real scare to the area. Luckily, when the storm neared, the levees held the category 2 Hurricane Gustav, preventing catastrophic flooding, and another disaster was prevented. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ike is reaching Cuba and the Gulf of Mexico and is causing major flooding in areas already affected by Gustav. Now, because of the climate changes and global warming of the Earth, there are increasing number of hurricanes that are affecting our country and its people.
