The deadliest storm was the great Galveston Hurricane of 1900, it caused a 20ft surge that washed ashore a 17ft island with 50,000 people on it. You can look up what happened next. Katrina was the most devastating however.

A hurricane can cause widespread destruction in a town it hits, including damage to buildings, infrastructure, and vegetation. It can also result in power outages, flooding, and displacement of residents. The economic impact can be significant due to the costs of recovery and rebuilding.


How deep was the water in New Orleans from Katrina?

Some areas saw little, if any, flooding during and after Katrina. Other parts, such as Lakeview and the Ninth Ward had over 10 feet in certain parts. Actually in some parts the water level was up to 15 feet. You have to look at this. New Orleans is like a soup bowl. It is 28 feet under sea level.

FACT #1 Ike was to times bigger then Rita and Katrina..... FACT #2 Katrina was stronger in winds by 30 miles an hour not that big of a difference but in FACT #3 Ike storm surge was a Cat5 surge as big as it gets now Katrina was only a 3 but still that is big.... Fact 4 Ike was a little bit smaller then the State of Texas it was so big at one time it was hitting Mexico,Texas,Louisiana.Mississppi.and part of Florida at the same time now that big... now if Ike would of hit the same spot at the same time and lets act like Katrina hasn't even happened yet ok soo if Ike hit the same spot and the same time Katrina did Ike storm surge would of been bad the winds would be one thing at 120mph and gust up to 150 yea and another FACT Ike was the slowest storm to ever hit the U.S it hit Texas 10:38pm and winds were down at 45mph at 11am the next moring winds were down to 25 at 2pm that same day and at 3:30 winds were down to mph soo yes Katrina was bigger in wind speed by 30mph and gust by 10mph but Ike had bigger Storm Surge lasted the longest and was the biggest sooo it would hit Texas and Florida at the same time soo that is all the Facts ok and to sum everything u Rita that hit in 2005 that pounded Texas it was bigger in winds and storm surge and in size then Katrina only reason why Katrina is a big deal is it was the first Hurricane to hit new Orleans and come on new Orleans is under sea level and there sea wall were old out of date and can only with stand a Cat2 thank you and i will be posting more answer later have a nice day God Bless!!!

How strong do hurricanes hit land?

Depends on the hurricane, normally what category it is. For instance, category 5 hurricanes have the fastest wind speeds that hurricanes can get up to. It doesn't depend on size because if you look at Hurricane Andrew, it was tiny compared to some other hurricanes, but being a category 5, it caused a lot of damage, and is now the second costliest hurricane.I said that it normally depends on the category, right? Well, not always. Look at Hurricane Katrina, or Hurricane Mitch. Hurricane Katrina was a category 3 hurricane when it made landfall and is the costliest hurricane of all time. Katrina is more than 3 times as much as Hurricane Andrew! And Hurricane Mitch was only a category 1 when it made landfall! But Mitch caused a great deal of damage from a lot of rain causing mudslides that could bury one's head! So in this case, I think it is where the hurricane strikes, because if Mitch hadn't struck Mexico (I think), then it might have not been so affective. Same thing for Katrina. If she had hit, oh I don't know, Texas, maybe, then it might have not flooded New Orleans!Hope this helped!

What is the comparence of crime in new orleansbefore and after Hurricane Katrina?

Comparence is not a word so we'll assume illiteracy is on the rise in the post-Katrina world. Now if you are looking for a "comparison," look at the FBI's UCR report before and after 2005. Before you tackle that, I'd try to improve your spelling and grammar skills.

Was Frantz Elementary school in new Orleans open when hurricane Katrina hit and is it open now?

Our hurricane detection and warning systems are fairly effective, and i doubt a school would be open during a highly destructive hurricane any more than a snow day. A footnote about the fate of William Frantz Elementary. I saw a documentary about the valiant effort of the locals rebuilding New Orleans despite little or no outside help. (Sorry, I don't remember the name of the show.) One of the buildings featured was this very school. The outside doesn't look bad, but the flood damage inside made it unusable. The school would have been torn down if not for a lady who is leading a successful effort to restore it. Her name is Ruby Bridges Hall and this school has a special meaning for her. Fifty years ago Ruby walked into the school, with four marshals acting as her bodyguards, as she became the first black child to enroll in an all white school in the south. Norman Rockwell immortalized that moment in his famous painting "The Problem We All Live With." It seems appropriate that the little girl who made the school a landmark grew up to be the woman who would save it.
