Respuesta :
Hurricane Katrina (August 2005) developed into a sizable and extraordinarily potent hurricane that caused major property damage and fatalities. It surpassed Hurricane Andrew from 1992 as the costliest hurricane to ever make landfall in the United States. Moreover, Katrina was among the five most deadly hurricanes to ever hit the United States.
On August 25, as a Category 1 hurricane (80 mph) on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, the storm made its initial landfall in the southeast Florida coast while still tracking west and rapidly strengthening.
On August 28, Katrina developed quickly and briefly reached Category 5 status (with peak sustained winds of 175 mph) as it proceeded northwest after crossing south Florida and entering the extremely warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Katrina initially made landfall in southeast Louisiana (sustained winds: 125 mph) and then again along the Mississippi Gulf Coast as a Category 3 hurricane before weakening to that category (sustained winds: 120mph). Over east central Mississippi, Hurricane Katrina eventually lost hurricane strength late on August 29.
