United States, world share grief in wake of Katrina

On the morning of Aug. 29, Hurricane Katrina blasted into the southern gulf states destroying cities and coastline, leaving masses of people without homes and many without lives.

The category 5 hurricane flooded the cities cutting electricity, sweeping away roads from floodwaters and limiting the food and water rations available to the survivors of the storm. Officials said the death toll could number in the hundreds of thousands.

During a trip last week to the devastated area of 90,000 square miles, President Bush was greeted with laud and criticism, the latter based on what many have called a sluggish federal effort to provide relief. [read more]
