Hurricane Katrina lasted about 7-8 days. It first formed on August 23, 2005. Katrina became a hurricane and made its first landfall (in Florida) on August 25. The storm reached peak intensity on August 28 before making its devastating Gulf-coast landfall on August 29. The remnants of Katrina were finally absorbed by another system on August 31.
Hurricane Katrina occurred in August 2005, affecting the Gulf Coast of the United States, particularly New Orleans. The Boxing Day tsunami took place on December 26, 2004, impacting countries around the Indian Ocean with devastating consequences.
Hurricane Katrina resulted in about 1,833 confirmed fatalities in the U.S., primarily in Louisiana. The Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 caused an estimated 230,000 to 280,000 deaths across 14 countries in South and Southeast Asia.
Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005. The climograph for that day would likely show high temperatures and high humidity levels, typical for a late summer day in the region. Additionally, heavy rain and strong winds would be depicted in the climograph, reflecting the impact of the hurricane on the area.
Before Hurricane Katrina struck, the weather in New Orleans was sunny and calm. After the hurricane hit, the weather was characterized by heavy rain, strong winds, and extensive flooding as levees broke and the city suffered catastrophic damage.
The second-worst hurricane in terms of damage and loss of life in America was Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It caused catastrophic flooding in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast, resulting in over 1,800 deaths and billions of dollars in damage.
No. But Katrina was the 6th largest in history. The largest Hurricane? The Great Labor Day Storm. Was the largest.

Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast in 2005, was worse than Hurricane Camille in terms of its widespread devastation and loss of life. The catastrophic flooding in New Orleans and the overall economic impact made Katrina one of the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history.

On August 29, 2005, there were three hurricanes active in the Atlantic basin: Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ophelia, and Hurricane Maria. Hurricane Katrina made landfall in the United States on that day.

There are multiple times and time discrepancies for when Hurricane Katrina occurred because of different times being used for when it touched ground and when the alerts were released. The first warnings were said to have gone out around 7am EST on August 24 2005. Then, it was said to touch on the ground of the Gulf Coast at 6:30pm EST on August 25th.
Hurricane Katrina formed over the Bahamas on 23 August 2005, and on that same day it crossed Florida as a Category 1 storm. A low pressure system's strengthening into a hurricane in less than 24 hours is unusual. Six days later, on 29 August, it made landfall in New Orleans as a Category 3 storm. (Katrina had been a Category 5 for a time while it was churning in the Gulf of Mexico.) By August 31, Katrina was an extratropical cyclone -- essentially an area of low pressure -- over Pennsylvania. The storm was considered to have dissipated completely on 3 September, but Katrina really had hurricane characteristics for eight days.
The highest winds recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph. More specifically, Typhoons Tip, Keith, Vera, Sarah, and Hurricanes Allen and Camille are the only tropical cyclones to record a 190 mph sustained wind. However, a recon estimate within Typhoon Nancy (1961) reported sustained winds of 215 mph. However, wind speed estimates at the time were deemed as overestimates, and thus 215 mph from Nancy is not verifiable record.
