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).
