Hurricane Katrina moved ashore over southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi early on August 29, 2005, as an extremely dangerous Category 4 storm. Credit: GOES Project Science Office. Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest hurricanes ever to hit the United States. An estimated 1,833 people died in the hurricane and the flooding that followed in late August 2005, and millions of others were left homeless along the Gulf Coast and in New Orleans.
Katrina formed in the Bahamas on August 23, and headed west, striking southern Florida as a Category 1 hurricane. After that, Katrina entered into the Gulf of Mexico, where extremely warm water temperatures allowed it to strengthen into a Category 5 hurricane with 175 mph winds early on August 28.he total damage from Katrina is estimated at $81,000,000,000 (2005 USD), nearly doubling the cost of the previously most expensive storm in the United States, Hurricane Andrew, when adjusted for inflation.
