On August 23, 2005 Hurricane Katrina formed in the Bahamas. Katrina is ranked as the third most intense United States landfalling tropical cyclone. The death rate was from about 1,245-1,836 people. The total damage in dollars was $108 billion, which is the most on record.
Hurricane Katrina affected the Bahamas, Cuba, Louisiana (especially New Orleans), Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. New Orleans was the most affected out of all these other places. The main reason New Orleans' death rate was so high because the levy had broke and caused mass flooding. This is why Hurricane Katrina is one of the most deadliest tragedies in America history.
