Both Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina were extremely large, destructive hurricanes that struck the United States, causing massive flooding. At over $100 billion Hurricane Katrina is the costliest hurricane in U.s. history with Sandy coming in second place at about $50 billion. Both produced very high storm surges, with Sandy's peaking at 13-14 feet and Katrina's peaking at 28 feet. Both essentially shut down major cities, with Sandy shutting down New York City and Katrina shutting down New Orleans, though for much longer and under much worse conditions. Both were also part of abnormally active hurricane seasons.
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.
Both Katrina and Andre were extremely destructive category 5 hurricanes. Andrew actually held the record for the most destructive U.S. hurricane at $26 billion until Katrina came along and caused damage totaling to $105 billion.
