Hurricane Rita formed in much the same way that other hurricanes form. It originate as a cluster of showers and thunderstorms that moved off the coast of Africa and over the Atlantic. This system at first dissipated, but later redeveloped from the remnant low pressure. Fed by the moisture from the warm ocean water, this system began to strenthen and organize as it moved westward. It developed its own circulation and became Tropical Depression Eighteen. Soon afterward the winds of the system became stronger and it became Tropical Storm Rita. The tropical storm quickly began to intensify as it enetered the Gulf of Mexico, becoming a hurricane and soon a major hurricane.
Hurricane Katrina struck a number of locations. Katrina first formed near the Bahamas and then crossed southern Florida The storm then intensified over the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall in Louisiana and Mississippi, devastating the cities of New Orleans, Gulfport, and Biloxi.
Yes it is possible. But nearly most of the time they are no stronger than category 2. When the hurricane moves up the east coast, since it is colder than Carolinas and Georgia, the hurricane weakens more and more, and it is just rain and wind when it reaches New York. Like Hurricane Earl in 2010, it was said to be a near category 5 hurricane and it was moving up the east coast. But the water got colder for the hurricane, and when it reached New York, it was just raining.
There have been numerous Hurricane Irenes in history because the name cycles every 6 years and has not yet been retired. Most recently, Hurricane Irene in 2005 topped out at 105 mph.
So far the Hurricane Irene that is currently active peaked at 100 mph before weakening to 90 mph. Currently the storm is expected to reach a second peak of 125 mph later this week.

It hurts me to answer this: many people died, many people lost their homes, many people lost their businesses. The FEMA gets their money from taxpayers.
