My name is Lenny and I’m 16 years old. I grew up in New Orleans （新奥尔良）. When Hurricane （飓风） Katrina hit, I was only 12. I was at my cousin’s house for the weekend and we were watching Saturday TV in his room. We didn’t know anything about it and then suddenly all the electricity went out. We looked out of the window and it was raining and it was really windy. The trees were bent over. There was so much water in the streets. We opened the bedroom door and saw that there was water everywhere. So we tried to climb onto the roof （屋顶）. There were lots of people on roofs around our neighborhood.
When the Hurricane Katrina hit, 80% of the city was under water, so it was very difficult for people to leave. There were so many people that the city officials （官员） didn’t really know what to do with them. At last, a helicopter （直升飞机） picked us up and took us to another city.
