Tropical Storm Katrina

The name Katrina has been used for three tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, three tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and one tropical cyclone in the South Pacific. It was used in the Pacific on the old four-year lists. The name is not to be confused with Karina, which is on the Pacific hurricane lists today.

North Atlantic

• 1981's Hurricane Katrina - A late season Category 1 hurricane that impacted Cuba in November 1981, killing two people.
• Katrina was on the naming lists for the 1987 and 1993 seasons but was not used.
• 1999's Tropical Storm Katrina – A minimal tropical storm that struck near the same area as catastrophic Hurricane Mitch a year earlier, but caused little damage.
• 2005's Hurricane Katrina – A catastrophic storm that was the costliest and one of the five deadliest in US history. It formed over the Bahamas, made its first landfall near Miami, Florida as a Category 1 hurricane, then struck near Long Beach, Mississippi, approximately 40 miles east of New Orleans, Louisiana, as a Category 3 storm after weakening from a strong Category 5, in August 2005.

The name Katrina was retired in the North Atlantic after the 2005 season, and will be replaced by Katina for the 2011 season.
