Hurricane Katrina Flooding Map
First, let’s talk about the colors. These maps aren’t boring beige. They’re splashed with blues, purples, and angry reds. Dark blue means “underwater, my friend.” Purple means “you need a boat, not a car.”
It looks like a tie-dye shirt that got left in the rain. Seriously, it’s a kaleidoscope of bad news. But it’s fascinating to look at because it’s so intense.
One funny detail? The map shows water levels in feet. Some areas had 15 feet of water. That’s taller than a giraffe! A giraffe could not have walked through that block.
