Climograph for Hurricane Katrina?

Hurricane Katrina was the largest and third strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall in the U.S. In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3, but Katrina peaked at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 miles per hour. The storm surge from Katrina was 20-feet (six meters) high. 705 people are reported as still missing as a result of hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina affected over 15 million people in different factors such as economy, evacuations, gas prices or drinking water. The final death toll was at 1,836, primarily from Louisiana (1,577) and Mississippi (238). An estimated 80 percent of New Orleans was under water, up to 20 feet deep in places. Hurricane Katrina caused $81 billion in property damages, but it is estimated that the total economic impact in Louisiana and Mississippi may exceed $150 billion, earning the title of costliest hurricane ever in US history. Hurricane Katrina impacted about 90,000 square miles.

What does it mean to have a hurricane retired?

Hurricane names usually com up for use every three years. For example, there was a Hurricane Michael in 2012. The name will be available to name another storm in 2018, though it will only be used if we get to at least 13 named storms that year. However, if a hurricane is bad enough its name is retired, meaning it is pulled out of the 6 year cycle and replaced. For example there will never be another storm named Andrew, Katrina, or Sandy.

Did hurricane Katrina pass through Cuba?

Not the famous Hurricane Katrina of 2005, which devastated New Orleans, no. That storm developed near the Bahamas, crossed Florida, and finally stuck the U.S. Gulf coast. However, hurricane names that are not retired come up for re-use every six years. As of 2005, no future storm will ever be named Katrina, but in 1981 a differed hurricane also named Katrina made landfall in Cuba. The storm was a category 1 hurricane that killed two people. Other than some crops destroyed by flooding damage was minimal.
