By August 30, 2005, one day after the Category 4 storm made landfall, 80 percent of the city of New Orleans, was flooded, with some parts of the city under 20 feet (6 m) of water. The flood was caused by several levee breaches due to a combination of a powerful storm surge, strong winds and excess water in the bodies of water surrounding the city.
