Here's a portion of the Katrina timeline, as per CBC News:

Aug. 28, 2005
Katrina grows into a Category 5 storm with 260 km/h winds, and heads
for the northern Gulf coast. Mayor Nagin orders a mandatory evacuation
for New Orleans, but 10 shelters are also set up, including the
Superdome, for those unable to leave. Evacuation orders are posted all
along the Mississippi coast. Alabama Governor Bob Riley declares a
state of emergency.

Aug. 29, 2005
Katrina, now a Category 4 hurricane with 230 km/h winds, makes
landfall near Buras, La., at 6:10 a.m. CT (7:10 a.m. ET). U.S.
President Bush makes emergency disaster declarations for Louisiana and
Mississippi, freeing up federal funds. Katrina rips two holes in the
Superdome's roof, with some 10,000 people inside. At least eight Gulf
Coast refineries shut down or reduce operations. Airports close in New
Orleans, Baton Rouge, La., Biloxi, Miss., Mobile, Ala., and Pensacola,
Fla. Hundreds of flights are canceled or diverted.

Aug. 30, 2005
The death toll in Mississippi rises to more than 100. Two levees break
in New Orleans and water pours in, covering 80 per cent of the city
and rising in some areas to six metres deep. Many people climb onto
roofs to escape. Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco says everyone
still in New Orleans - an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 people - must be
gotten out. Crowds swell at the Superdome and the convention centre in
New Orleans. Rescuers in helicopters and boats pick up hundreds of
stranded people in New Orleans, and reports of looting begin to
emerge. About 40,000 people are in American Red Cross shelters, not
including in New Orleans. President Bush cuts short his vacation.


Read August twenty-ninth carefully.  The day the hurricane reached New
Orleans, Bush took action.
