In places the storm surge of Hurricane Katrina reached a height of 28 feet.
Hurricane Katrina was a Category 5 hurricane when it made landfall in the United States on August 29, 2005. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is used to categorize hurricanes based on their sustained wind speeds, not the Richter scale which measures earthquake magnitudes.
No. Not even close. There are two main measures of hurricane intensity: wind speed and barometric pressure. Hurricane Irene is already past its peak of 120 mph winds and a pressure of 942 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm). The strongest Hurricane on record in terms of wind speed was Hurricane Camille at 190 mph. The most intense tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon etc.) on recordwas Typhoon Tip with a pressure of 870 millibars.
The chance of a specially trained pilot getting killed in a hurricane would depend on various factors such as the pilot's experience, the severity of the hurricane, and the safety measures taken. Generally, flying in a hurricane is extremely dangerous and carries a high risk of fatalities.
Hurricanes can cause significant damage to a state by producing strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surge. While a hurricane can devastate local areas within a state, it is unlikely to completely destroy an entire state. Emergency response efforts and preparedness measures can help mitigate the impact of a hurricane on a state's infrastructure and population.
Meteorologist observe the hurricane in a close distance with it. Maybe in the future there will be a tool which can measure the speed of the hurricane. :)

The dew point in a hurricane is typically high due to the warm ocean waters and moist air surrounding the storm. Dew point measures the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture, leading to high humidity levels in hurricane conditions.
Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale categizes hurricanes as Category One to Five.
Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale which is different from the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.

Precautionary measures is to be prepare for something that might happen. If a hurricane was approaching you would take the appropriate precautionary measures such as boarding up windows or buying medical / food supplies.

Cubans have adapted to their environment by changing the crops they grow. Residents also try to take measures during hurricane season and limit erosion.
In 1955, Hurricane Diane struck North Carolina, swooping in from the Atlantic and creating drastic measures for the economy and the community. It reaped upward of $750 million in reconstructions and repairs, and took over 180 fatalities.
