The costliest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic was Hurricane Katrina, which struck the coastlines of Mississippi and Louisiana after brushing the tip of Florida, in August 2005, causing $108 billion (2005 USD) in property damage.
Overall, at least 1,245 people died in the hurricane and subsequent floods, making it the deadliest United States hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. Total property damage was estimated at $108 billion (2005 USD), roughly four times the damage wrought by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.lthough Hurricane Katrina made landfall well to the west, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle were both affected by tropical-storm force winds and a storm surge varying from 12 to 16 feet (3.7â4.9 m) around Mobile Bay, with higher waves on top.
