Hurricane Katrina is quite possibly the United State’s most popular hurricane ever. Katrina started out as a tropical depression when it showed up southeast of the bahamas then worked its way up to a tropical storm, and then a hurricane. By the time Katrina made landfall in Louisiana, it was a category 5 hurricane. The damage it left was wildly devastating to multiple communities.
The official death toll of Katrina is 1,836 casualties, with 1,577 from Louisiana and the rest all coming from surrounding states in the south. Katrina also left behind roughly $108 billion in damage and millions of people homeless. After Katrina, many newer, better, ways to evacuate and alert the public were created as well as a new and improved levee system.
