They were both hurricanes that caused costly, extensive damage to populated areas of the US, Andrew in 1992 and Katrina in 2005. Both hurricanes created devastation in areas of the state of Louisiana, Katrina moreso because of her stronger winds and storm surge. Both storms were, at their peak, among the strongest of hurricanes, being classified as Category 5 storms.
Andrew was, at the time, considered the most costly hurricane to ever strike the US, doing more than $26 billion USD in damage. Katrina did more than 4 times as much damage at $108 billion USD. Only the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 may have caused more damage when adjusted to current dollars.

Then in the same year came Hurricane Wilma which made landfall in Cape Romano, FL with winds of 120mph then passed close to Miami-dade and Broward county FL as a Category 1 with guest winds of up to 102mph.

How strong do hurricanes hit land?
Depends on the hurricane, normally what category it is. For instance, category 5 hurricanes have the fastest wind speeds that hurricanes can get up to. It doesn't depend on size because if you look at Hurricane Andrew, it was tiny compared to some other hurricanes, but being a category 5, it caused a lot of damage, and is now the second costliest hurricane.I said that it normally depends on the category, right? Well, not always. Look at Hurricane Katrina, or Hurricane Mitch. Hurricane Katrina was a category 3 hurricane when it made landfall and is the costliest hurricane of all time. Katrina is more than 3 times as much as Hurricane Andrew! And Hurricane Mitch was only a category 1 when it made landfall! But Mitch caused a great deal of damage from a lot of rain causing mudslides that could bury one's head! So in this case, I think it is where the hurricane strikes, because if Mitch hadn't struck Mexico (I think), then it might have not been so affective. Same thing for Katrina. If she had hit, oh I don't know, Texas, maybe, then it might have not flooded New Orleans!Hope this helped!
