		<description><![CDATA[Four years ago today on 29 August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, destroying communities over a wide path in Louisiana and Mississippi. Its winds and heavy rains breached the levies protecting New Orleans, and within two days, 80 percent of the historic city was under water. An estimated 1 million people were evacuated during and after the storm, the largest movement of people in the U.S. since the Great Depression and the Civil War. Full reconstruction of the devastated areas is expected to take many years. The death toll was over 1,300, compared with 388 in eight hurricanes spread over seven years.]]></description>

Such is the situation with this day in 1896 with The Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
