It has been 10 years since Hurricane Katrina nearly destroyed the city of New Orleans. The massive hurricane exposed major issues with the city’s infrastructure, left thousands upon thousands of people without any place to stay, destroying their homes and leaving their neighborhoods in ruins. In all, 1,833 people would lose their lives.
In the hours before the storm hit and then after it left — when the levees failed and everything changed — the people who remained in New Orleans streamed toward a place where usually they would go to watch football, the massive structure at the city’s heart, the Superdome.
