Note 1: The National Hurricane Center described Katrina as “an extraordinarily powerful and deadly hurricane that carved a wide swath of catastrophic damage and inflicted large loss of life.” This storm destroyed entire neighborhoods, took nearly 2,000 lives and forced hundreds of thousands of people to live as refugees as they relocated.  This storm was the most expensive natural disaster to ever affect the United States, with over $81 billion dollars in property damage alone.  This was not the only cost.  As transportation and oil distribution routes were impassable, many of the region’s industries (including oil production) were severely damaged. Though the Bush Administration had a $105 billion budget for reconstruction, this only covered a portion of the real economic costs.
