Sidwell ( 2005 ) reconstructs the consonant inventory of Proto-Mon – Khmer as follows:

Clinton greets a Hurricane Katrina evacuee, who is in a wheelchair, in the Reliant Center at the Houston Astrodome on September 5, 2005.

After Hurricane Katrina, Clinton joined with fellow former President George H. W. Bush to establish the Bush-Clinton Tsunami Fund in January 2005, and the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund in October of that year.

The " Florida Keys for Katrina Relief " had originally been set for October 23, 2005, when Hurricane Wilma barreled through the Florida Keys on October 24, causing flooding and economic mayhem.

Examples of alternate disaster recovery sites being compromised by the same disaster that affected the primary site include having had a primary site in World Trade Center I and the recovery site in 7 World Trade Center, both of which were destroyed in the 9 / 11 attack, and having one's primary site and recovery site in the same coastal region, which leads to both being vulnerable to hurricane damage ( for example, primary site in New Orleans and recovery site in Jefferson Parish, both of which were hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 ).

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast as a Category 3 hurricane.

Hurricane Emily ravaged the island's north end in June 2005.

In July 2005 Hurricane Emily struck Grenada again as the country was still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Ivan.

In early October 2005, Guatemala was devastated by Hurricane Stan, a relatively weak storm that triggered a flooding disaster that left at least 1, 500 people dead.

On September 2, 2005, Harry Connick, Jr., helped to organize, and appeared in, the NBC-sponsored live telethon concert, A Concert for Hurricane Relief, for relief in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

On September 6, 2005, Connick was made honorary chair of Habitat for Humanity's Operation Home Delivery, a long-term rebuilding plan for families victimized by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast.

In recent years, Hurricane Ivan ( 2004 ) swept past the island causing heavy damage and a number of deaths ; in 2005, Hurricanes Dennis and Emily brought heavy rains to the island.

* 2005 – Hurricane Dennis slams into the Florida Panhandle, causing billions of dollars in damage.

Dedicated in 1998, the house and library were damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

In September 2005, Kid Rock filled in for Johnny Van Zant, the lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd on the band's hit " Sweet Home Alabama " at the Hurricane Katrina benefit concert.

He gave up virtually all his gold, one of his identifying marks, after helping with the cleanup after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

** September 2005 commentary on Hurricane Katrina

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and, indeed, much of the Gulf Coast region.

Haslett was fired after the 2005 season, in which the Saints finished 3 – 13 and did not play one regular season contest in New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina.

Due to the damage Hurricane Katrina caused to the Superdome and the New Orleans area, the Saints scheduled 2005 home opener against the New York Giants was moved to Giants Stadium.

Notable games include Carolina's 19-7 home victory in 1996 that sparked Saints head coach Jim Mora's infamous " Diddley Poo " rant and resignation from the team, Carolina's 10-6 win in the 2002 season finale at the Superdome to knock the Saints out of the playoffs, and the emotional 2005 season opener at Carolina where the Saints won 23-20 in the face of Hurricane Katrina and an eventual 3-13 season.
