In the final days of August 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged America's southern shores. In one of the greatest natural disasters in this country, more than 1,100 lives were lost and parts of New Orleans were destroyed. The hurricane displaced more than one million people and damaged more than a million homes.
These satellite images show scenes from the days following Katrina and scenes from New Orleans and the surrounding areas today, which have made great strides in restoring the buildings, streets, and communities that were damaged.
