Firstly, it was a category 3 hurricane when it hit New Orleans, However, it was the third strongest hurricane to hit the U.S., and the sixth strongest in the Atlantic Ocean. It was especially deadly because the levees that allowed the below-sea level New Orleans to remain dry burst, flooding the entire city with loads of water.

Actualy it happend because the winds increased by 125 mph in its terrible winds
