At peak intensity, Hurricane Katrina had sustained winds of 175 mph. When it came ashore in Louisiana and Mississippi, the winds were down to about 125 mph (Category 3). Katrina set records for storm strength in the Gulf of Mexico, but most of these were topped by Hurricanes Rita and Wilma later that same year (2005).
