Hurricane Katrina primarily impacted Louisiana due to its direct landfall in New Orleans, where the city's geography and levee system made it particularly vulnerable. By the time the storm moved northward into Mississippi and Alabama, it had weakened significantly. Additionally, the storm's path and wind patterns caused most of its destructive effects to be concentrated in the southeastern region of Louisiana, limiting the extent of damage in northern states. Factors such as geography, storm intensity, and the timing of the storm's progression all contributed to the reduced impact on states further north.
