#KATRINA10 BLOG SERIES ___________________________________________________________

Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast on August 25, 2005, leaving over 1,800 dead and tens of thousands displaced. For the ten-year anniversary, we captured stories to commemorate the event and celebrate the progress made to rebuild communities. These stories provide some perspective on the long-term work needed to recover from such catastrophic storms. Read how Hurricane Katrina revealed weaknesses and strengths that spurred transformation across the region, church and country.
