No. Katrina was far worse than Andrew, causing more than twice the damage and more than 50 times as many deaths.
No. Hurricane Andrew is nowhere near being the deadliest hurricane. Andrew killed 26 people directly and led to additional 39 indirect deaths. The deadliest hurricane to hit the U.S. was the Galveston hurricane of 1900, which killed at least 8,000 people and possibly as many as 1,200. The deadliest known Atlantic hurricane was the Great hurricane of 1780 with at least 22,000 fatalities. The deadliest tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon, etc.) on record was the Bhola cyclone of 1970, which killed at least 300,000 people.
Hurricane Katrina caused many thunderstorms, as do all hurricanes.
