Yes but Katrina was stronger than Ike .
Yess Ike was bigger then Katrina who did more damage well Katrina did it hit a city Ike hit Crystal beach and if you go look at the pictures at cystal before and after only maybe every mile a couple of houses still stand well lets stop talking about the aftermath lets got to facts. FACT #1 Ike was to times bigger then Rita and Katrina..... FACT #2 Katrina was stronger in winds by 30 miles an hour not that big of a difference but in FACT #3 Ike storm surge was a Cat5 surge as big as it gets now Katrina was only a 3 but still that is big.... Fact 4 Ike was a little bit smaller then the State of Texas it was so big at one time it was hitting Mexico,Texas,Louisiana.Mississppi.and part of Florida at the same time now that big... now if Ike would of hit the same spot at the same time and lets act like Katrina hasn't even happened yet ok soo if Ike hit the same spot and the same time Katrina did Ike storm surge would of been bad the winds would be one thing at 120mph and gust up to 150 yea and another FACT Ike was the slowest storm to ever hit the U.S it hit Texas 10:38pm and winds were down at 45mph at 11am the next moring winds were down to 25 at 2pm that same day and at 3:30 winds were down to mph soo yes Katrina was bigger in wind speed by 30mph and gust by 10mph but Ike had bigger Storm Surge lasted the longest and was the biggest sooo it would hit Texas and Florida at the same time soo that is all the Facts ok and to sum everything u Rita that hit in 2005 that pounded Texas it was bigger in winds and storm surge and in size then Katrina only reason why Katrina is a big deal is it was the first Hurricane to hit New Orleans and come on new Orleans is under sea level and there sea wall were old out of date and can only with stand a Cat2 thank you and i will be posting more answer later have a nice day God Bless!!!

∙ 12y agoNo. Katrina was significantly stronger.
At its strongest Ike was a category 4 hurricane with 145 mph sustained winds and a central pressure of 935 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm).
By contrast Katrina peaked as a category 5 hurricane with 175 mph sustained winds and a pressure of 902 millibars.

∙ 7y agoHurricane Ike hit Galveston in September 2008, but had slightly less storm surge than Katrina, which struck east of New Orleans in August 2005. There were similar affects from both storms, but fewer lingering after effects for Texas. Katrina did far more damage over a wider area of the Gulf Coast, doing more than 3 times the property damage of Ike. Katrina remains the costliest Atlantic storm on record.
Wind damage to Louisiana high rise buildings by Katrina was similar to that produced on some buildings in Houston. But Katrina's top winds at landfall were 140 mph compared to 110 mph for Ike.
Water damage in eastern Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast by Katrina was more extensive. Although the entirety of Galveston was inundated by Ike, New Orleans suffered levee failures after Katrina that left the city flooded for weeks.
The two storms had different tracks that may have prevented Ike from doing more damage. Ike was a Category 4 storm beforecrossing mountainous Cuba. The water on its westward route was not warm enough to regenerate it to that status. Katrina reached Category 5 after passing through The Florida Keys into warm water in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and only weakened shortly before landfall.
Another Louisiana difference was that Katrina did its damage in eastern Louisiana, while Ike did its damage in western Louisiana, mainly Cameron Parish.
