There is no such things as "a Katrina hurricane." Hurricane Katrina was a particular hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina was worse than any tornado on record and deadlier and more destructive than any recorded snowstorm. Katrina was worse than most earthquakes, but not all. Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,800 people. Some earthquakes have had death tolls in the hundreds of thousands.
Hurricane Katrina struck landfall as a category 3 with winds around 120 mph caused most of its damage through flooding. Hurricane Andrew struck Florida and the gulf as a category 5 with winds acceding 165 mph. Even though Andrew was much stronger when it hit. The damage Katrina caused exceeded Andrew's cause of all the flooding done because of New Orleans being under sea level and the levee's failing which instead of blocking the water it trapped the water in. The official death toll is 1,836.
The Galveston hurricane was actually far deadlier than hurricane Katrina. Estimates of the death toll range from 6,000 to 12,000. By contrast the death toll from Hurricane Katrina was about 1,800.
