Answer by pitademon2000
B is false

everyone knew before Katrina that the barrier islands and marshes were being eroded and drying up.

yes many predictions were made before Katrina about what would happen if a category 3 or higher hurricane hit. They even got federal dollars to use to create evacuation plans for New Orleans….they used that money to instead build the Lake Pontchartrain causeway (real good use huh?). So the evacuation plan was never really made…which explains my answer being B

Yes it made landfall as a Category 3, though it was at one point a category 5. It still had a heck of a surge that toppled the levees and barriers. There was not enough time for the water to settle back down before it hit.
