Katrina hits US Gulf Coast
A man puts his baby on top of his car as he and a woman abandon their car after it started to float when Hurricane Katrina hit the Terme area of New Orleans August 29, 2005. The White House said Monday it was willing to use the government's emergency oil stockpile to help refiners hurt by Hurricane Katrina's rampage through the Gulf of Mexico, but that it was too early to decide if or how much crude should be released. The storm slammed into New Orleans on Monday with winds of 135 mph (216 kph), shutting 91 percent of the normal 1.5 million barrels per day of crude oil production in the Gulf Coast region.
