New Orleans was almost completely destroyed. Let me make it short:

  • costliest hurricane of all time
  • Squashed New Orleans as a category 3 hurricane
  • makes Hurricane Andrew look tiny because Katrina was only a category 3 hurricane at landfall and Andrew was a category 5 hurricane and Katrina destroyed 3 times as much in money as Andrew.
  • New Orleans was mainly flooded
  • Katrina was tiny compared to some hurricanes
