What is the same with Hurricane Katrina and hurricane Isaac?

Answer 1

Similarities:

• Both Katrina and Sandy were extremely destructive Atlantic hurricanes. They were the costliest and second costliest hurricanes in U.S. history with Price tags of $105 billion and $50 billion respectively.
• Both formed during very active hurricane seasons.
• Both were extremely large hurricanes, causing high storm surges and very widespread damage.
• Both flooded and shut down major U.S. cities; Katrina hit New Orleans and Sandy shut down New York City, though for a much shorter time.
• Both storms ultimately merged with other systems.

Differences:

• Hurricane Katrina was far more intense than Sandy, peaking as a category 5 storm with 175 mph winds and striking the U.S. as a category 3. Sandy was a category 2 storm at peak strength with 110 mph winds, and hit the U.S. at category 1 intensity.
• Katrina was a hurricane in every sense of the word at landfall in the U.S. with full tropical characteristics. Sandy was a post-tropical cyclone at landfall in the U.S. and so was technically no longer a hurricane.
• Hurricane Katrina started on a westward path, hitting Florida and then turning north to hit the U.S. Gulf coast, a similar path to that taken by numerous Atlantic hurricanes. Hurricane Sandy started on a northward path, before making an unprecedented westward turn to hit the U.S. east coast.
• Hurricane Katrina's damage was almost exclusively in the United States while Sandy caused significant damage and several dozen deaths in the Caribbean.
• Hurricane Katrina was far deadlier than Sandy, killing more than 1,800 people. Hurricane Sandy killed just over 200 people.

Answer 2

Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Katrina were both very destructive Atlantic hurricanes that hit the United States. At the time it occurred, Andrew was the costliest hurricane in U.S. history, though it was later beaten by Katrina, which still holds the record. Both hurricanes reached category 5 strength: Andrew over the Bahamas and Katrina over the Gulf of Mexico. They also followed similar paths: striking first in southern Florida then turning north over the Gulf of Mexico to strike Louisiana at category 3 intensity.

First, Katrina was much deadlier than Andrew. Second, Katrina's damage was mostly on the Gulf Coast while Andrew's was largely in Florida. Third, Katrina was a category 1 at landfall in Florida while Andrew was a category 5.

Answer 3

Both Katrina and Isaac were Atlantic hurricanes that moved into the Gulf of Mexico in late August and struck Louisiana on August 29 of their respective years.
