Free Post 3/5

     My weekend was full of amazingness!! It all started on Friday night, the basketball game. The knights played Neuman, the are pretty good. The game was the most fun high school basketball game I have ever been to. We won which means we advance to the semi finals on Wednesday in Lake Charles.
     On Saturday I had my first track meet ever. I am not what you call a fast person. So, i did not do so good in the running events because I am slow. I though the jumping event would be better but I was wrong. I came in last place in the long jump. But i was glad i did it.

My Summer Time

     I had a pretty eventful summer. The first week I went to Orange Beach with my friend. When I came home I had to start summer weights...that was not fun. And then July came around, and i was off to Montana/Canada with my brother and my aunt. I was waiting all summer to go to Glacier National Park.      I went to Glacier National Park, it was so beautiful. We went on hikes and saw spectacular waterfalls. One waterfall was so big the wind it made could knock you over. We went on one hike that was 5 miles long, and we thought it was 2 miles. All my brother wanted to see was a mountain goat. On the very last hike we saw 10 mountain goats. They are very majestic animals. I had an amazing summer with my family.

Hurricane Katrina

     On the morning August 29th, 2005, hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Louisiana. It was a category 5 in the Gulf of Mexico, but when it hit land it was category 3. The storm started in the Bahamas as a tropical storm on August 23rd. They had time to warn people to evacuate, however 20% of the population stayed. Mayor Ray Nagin declared that the Super-Dome would be a last resort shelter. Katrina claimed the lives of about 2,000 people. Also, the damage spread across 90,000 square miles.      Although I was only 2 years old I do remember some things from Hurricane Katrina. I had family that lived in New Orleans, and did not evacuate. It was my aunt and her husband. They're house got destroyed in the storm. So came to stay with us for 2 months. They never moved back to New Orleans. They eventually bought a house in Baton Rouge, and are still living here. Resource: http://www.history.com/topics/hurricane-katrina
