the hardest-hit area was the united states gulf coast from eastern texas to the florida panhandle. first to strike the area was hurricane dennis, which caused $2.23 billion in damage along the florida panhandle. hurricane katrina caused catastrophic damage to the gulf coast, devastating a long stretch of coast along louisiana, mississippi, and alabama with a 30-foot (9 m) storm surge. wind damage was reported well inland, slowing down recovery efforts. storm surge also breached levees in the city of new orleans, louisiana, flooding about 80% of the city. total damage has been estimated at $125 billion, and at least 1,836 people were killed by the storm; katrina is the second costliest hurricane in u.s. history, surpassing 1992's hurricane andrew, and the deadliest hurricane in the u.s. since 1928. hurricane rita struck near the same area, re-flooded new orleans (though to a far less degree than katrina), and caused extensive damage along the coastlines of louisiana and texas; total damage is estimated at about $18.5 billion. tropical storm arlene and hurricane cindy also struck the gulf coast but caused much lighter damage.
