Hurricanes extend up to the tropopause, which is in the range of 8 to 10 miles high in the latitudes where hurricanes are found.
Hurricane Katrina was the 3rd strongest hurricane that hit the United States. The storm surge from Katrina reached 20 feet.
In some places the storm surge of Hurricane Katrina was as high as 28 feet.
you're so going to get an F. it's hurricane Katrina not kantrina. lol
Around 30 ft.
it was 50000 feet tall and 6000 feet wide
415 miles
27.8 ft (Hurricane Katrina)
Hurricane Katrina was the largest and third strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall in the U.S. In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3, but Katrina peaked at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 miles per hour. The storm surge from Katrina was 20-feet (six meters) high. 705 people are reported as still missing as a result of hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina affected over 15 million people in different factors such as economy, evacuations, gas prices or drinking water. The final death toll was at 1,836, primarily from Louisiana (1,577) and Mississippi (238).

Hurricane Katrina affected over 15 million people in different factors such as economy, evacuations, gas prices or drinking water. The final death toll was at 1,836, primarily from Louisiana (1,577) and Mississippi (238). An estimated 80 percent of New Orleans was under water, up to 20 feet deep in places. Hurricane Katrina caused $81 billion in property damages, but it is estimated that the total economic impact in Louisiana and Mississippi may exceed $150 billion, earning the title of costliest hurricane ever in US history. Hurricane Katrina impacted about 90,000 square miles.
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.
The main contributor to the extremely high death toll of Hurricane Katrina was the failure of the levees in New Orleans, where over 1,400 of Katrina's approximately 1,800 deaths ocurred. Portions of the city of New Orleans are below sea level, with man-made levees holding the water at bay. When a hurricane strikes, it drives seawater up and onto land in what is called a storm surge. Katrina's storm surge broke through the levees in several locations, flooding 80% if the city. A significant number of deaths, over 200, also ocurred in Mississippi. The cities of Gulfport and Biloxi were impacted by the most ntense part of the storm where the storm surge was up to 28 feet high. Large portions of the cities were completely destroyed by the violent waters crashing ashore.
5 feet
yes
yes. he plays a high school basketball player during the hurricane Katrina days from new Orleans. the movie is called HURRICANE SEASON.

Well, there are several hurricanes, each with its own level of intensity. The hurricane with the most damage was hurricane Katrina, which hit the USA in 2005 as a category 3 hurricane. Katrina's death toll was pretty high, t officially 1,836. The deadliest Atlantic hurricane in history was the Great Hurricane of 1780, which killed at least 22,000.
In Hurricane Katrina, winds got as high as 175 miles per hour. It caused over 100 billion dollars in damage.
The Mexican ocean flooded into inland as waves was high by really Strong wind

No. Hurricanes produce large waves that can capsize boats. The safest place to be during a hurricane is on high ground.
