Un immeuble complètement détruit après le passage du cyclone,
à Pascagoula,
dans l'Etat du Mississippi, mardi.
Selon le porte-parole de la mairie
de cette
petite ville voisine de Biloxi, Vincent Creel,
«des centaines de personnes ont peut-être péri
sur les seules côtes de l'Etat du
Mississippi,
de Pascagoula à GulfPort en passant par Biloxi».
Dans l'immédiat, les autorités municipales
se refusent à donner un bilan provisoire.

Higher Death Toll Seen; Police Ordered to
Stop Looters
NYT
September 1, 2005
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 31 -
Chaos gripped New
Orleans on Wednesday
as looters ran wild,
food and water supplies dwindled,
bodies floated in the floodwaters,
the evacuation of the Superdome began
and
officials said
there was no choice but to abandon the city
devastated by Hurricane Katrina,
perhaps for months.
President Bush pledged vast assistance
but
acknowledged,
"This recovery will take years."
For the first time,
a New Orleans official
suggested
the scope of the death toll.
Mayor C. Ray Nagin said
the hurricane might have killed
thousands in his city
alone,
an estimate that, if correct,
would make it the nation's deadliest natural
disaster
since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire,
which killed up to
6,000 people.

CHRONOLOGY-
Some deadly hurricanes
to hit southern U.S
Wed Oct 19, 2005
7:52 AM ET
Reuters
(Reuters) - Hurricane Wilma has strengthened to a catastrophic Category 5 storm
as it approaches western Cuba and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
The season's record-tying 21st storm, fueled by the warm waters of the northwest
Caribbean Sea, strengthened alarmingly as it headed into the Gulf of Mexico on a
path expected to lead across storm-weary southern Florida by Saturday.
Here are some of the deadliest hurricanes to strike the southern United States
since 1900 by number of casualties:
1900 - An unnamed hurricane, since known as the Galveston Hurricane, slams into
Texas, killing at least 8,000 people.
1928 - About 2,500 people are killed in Florida by a hurricane that caused an
enormous storm surge in Lake Okeechobee.
2005 - Hurricane Katrina slams into Louisiana and Mississippi with 140
mile-per-hour winds (224 kph) and a 30 foot (nine meter) storm surge. Katrina
killed about 1,230 people and caused more than $30 billion in insured damage.
Katrina was followed in September by Hurricane Rita.
1935 - An unnamed Category 5 hurricane, since referred to as the Labor Day
Hurricane of 1935 and the most intense storm to hit the United States since
records began, sweeps over the Florida Keys, leaving 408 dead.
1957 - Hurricane Audrey hits southwest Louisiana and Texas, killing 390.
1919 - An unnamed hurricane hits Florida and Texas, killing 287 people.
1915 - New Orleans, the largest city in Louisiana, suffers a direct hit from a
storm which left 275 dead.
1969 - Hurricane Camille, the second most intense storm to strike the U.S.,
kills 256 people in Mississippi, Virginia and Louisiana.
1972 - Hurricane Agnes, while only a Category 1, kills 122 people when it hits
Florida and moves to the northeast United States.
1954 - Hurricane Hazel slams into North Carolina and South Carolina, killing 95
people.
1965 - New Orleans takes a direct hit from Hurricane Betsy, a Category 3, that
flooded the city and killed about 75 people.
1961 - Hurricane Carla hits Texas, killing 46.
1989 - Hurricane Hugo swamps South Carolina, killing 32.
1992 - Category 5 Hurricane Andrew tears into Florida and Louisiana, leaving 29
dead and causing over $25 billion in damage. It was the third most intense storm
in U.S. history.
2004 - Category 3 Hurricane Ivan hits northwest Florida and Alabama, killing 25
and Category 4 Hurricane Charley slams into Florida, killing 23.
