Both Katrina and Andre were extremely destructive category 5 hurricanes. Andrew actually held the record for the most destructive U.S. hurricane at $26 billion until Katrina came along and caused damage totaling to $105 billion.

Hurricane Katrina is greater in damage in money. Katrina has nearly 3 times as much damage in money as Hurricane Andrew does, making Katrina the costliest hurricane on record and Andrew is the second costliest. Both hit New Orleans as a category 3 hurricane. Hurricane Katrina was more deadly overall (I don't know how they rate that, sorry.)

Well, they could be alike because they had both caused damages, and reached over a category 3. They had both killed people, injured and forced people to evacuate. They had both caused flooding and heavy rain and wind. Both of the hurricanes brought the tide up so it caused the flooding.

Hope this is helpful!
