How are Hurricane Katrina and hurricane Andrew the same?

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.

Can a hurricane ever be more powerful than hurricane Katrina?

Yes. Hurricane Katrina was incredibly destructive, but it was by no means the strongest hurricane on record. At peak intensity, Hurricane Katrina has sustained winds of 175 mph and a minimum central pressure of 902 millibars (lower pressure means a stronger storm). The position for highest sustained winds for an Atlantic hurricane is tied between Hurricane Camille (1969) and Hurricane Allen (1980), both of which peaked with sustained winds of 190 mph. In terms of pressure, Katrina is the 6th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record. First place goes to Hurricane Wilma, with a minimum central pressure of 882 millibars. The severity of a storm's impact is not purely a result of its intensity. In factm by landfall, Katrina had weakened to a 125 mph category 3. The incredible destruction from Katrina resulted from a combination of the storm's strength, large size, and where it hit. The major factor was the failure of the levees in New Orleans.
