The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the worst and the most intense in U.S. history. There were a record-breaking 28 named storms, 15 (again a record) of them became hurricanes, a record 7 were major hurricanes (category 3+), and yet another record 3 reached category 5 intensity.
One of the category 5 hurricanes, Hurricane Wilma, had the lowest barometric pressure ever recorded in an Atlantic hurricane.
Another category 5, Hurricane Katrina as the most destructive, and one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history. The storm killed 1844 people, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane in 77 years and caused $81 billion in damage. Most of the city of New Orleans was flooded for days with water that became toxic from chemicals and raw sewage that were in it.
