Hurricane Katrina

People in New Orleans wear a mix of casual and stylish clothing. In the warmer months, lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen are popular, while in the cooler months, layers and jackets are common. Many people also incorporate bold colors, patterns, and accessories to reflect the city's vibrant culture.

A tropical cyclone is classified as a hurricane once it reaches sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. Before that, it is known as a tropical depression (winds less than 39 mph) and then a tropical storm (winds between 39-73 mph).

Most of Hurricane Katrina hit Mississippi, though other states such as Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida got hit badly. Below in the related links is the eye path of Hurricane Katrina.

The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the worst and the most intense in U.S. history. There were a record-breaking 28 named storms, 15 (again a record) of them became hurricanes, a record 7 were major hurricanes (category 3+), and yet another record 3 reached category 5 intensity.

One of the category 5 hurricanes, Hurricane Wilma, had the lowest barometric pressure ever recorded in an Atlantic hurricane.

Another category 5, Hurricane Katrina as the most destructive, and one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history. The storm killed 1844 people, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane in 77 years and caused $81 billion in damage. Most of the city of New Orleans was flooded for days with water that became toxic from chemicals and raw sewage that were in it.

Disasters like Hurricane Katrina still happen. However, because of advancements in technology meteorologists can now predict events like Katrina. They can also watch things from just about the time they form which will allow for evacuations to happen earlier potentially saving more lives.

Katrina was a very bad hurricane that had a huge impact on New Orleans. This city was completed devastated by the storm.

because she is very very very very very very very very very very very very beautiful.

and her acting is also very nise........

so peoples are like Katrina kaif...................

History recorded Hurricane Katrina as spotlighting two major Federal response units that were either untested or inadequate. Both FEMA and the newly formed DHS (Department of Homeland Security) failed to act in a prompt and timely manner.

Yes. The five categories of the Saffir-Simpson scale are based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed. They are:

Category 1: 74-95 mph

Category 2: 96-110 mph

Category 3: 111-130 mph

Category 4: 131-155 mph

Category 5: 156+ mph

There are likely more hurricanes these days due to a combination of natural climate cycles and human-induced climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures can fuel the formation of hurricanes, leading to an increase in their frequency and intensity. Additionally, factors such as changing wind patterns and atmospheric conditions may also contribute to the rise in the number of hurricanes.

Nearly every levee was breached when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans making the job of rescuing those in need of help much more difficult. There was a delay in response as first responders arrived from other states and FEMA was not yet set up.

At least 1,836 people died during Hurricane Katrina, making it one of the deadliest U.S. hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane. But there have been debates about the number of people that died because it is possible that not all people who died were found.

The damage caused by Hurricane Katrina could have been minimized if they would move all of the homes located behind the levies to higher ground. The human suffering could have been alleviated if everyone had followed the evacuation orders.

No, and the Amtrak railroad between New Orleans, Louisiana and Jacksonville, Florida has not run since Hurricane Katrina, and might not run again. Although it does run between Los Angeles, California and New Orleans.

After Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, an estimated 10,000-15,000 individuals from New Orleans temporarily relocated to Arkansas. Arkansas was one of the neighboring states that provided shelter and support in the aftermath of the hurricane.

The government may recommend that perishable foods, such as meat, dairy, and produce, be discarded after a hurricane or flood to prevent foodborne illnesses. This is because these foods could have been exposed to unsafe conditions during the disaster, such as temperature fluctuations or contamination. It is also advisable to discard any food that has come in contact with floodwaters.

The late Billy Pierson that played at Tootsies in Panama City Beach FL. wrote and played a song about Katrina that was awesome, I don't know for sure if he ever recorded it or not but I heard him do it in person numerous times as it was my biggest request of him since my daughter lived in New Orleans when Katrina hit. I hope you can find it .

The city of New Orleans took quite a beating from Hurricane Katrina and the flooding that happened in the aftermath. It is still recovering from many of the after affects. However, the tourist areas of the city have reopened after the storm.

Since hurricanes start up in water, its strong winds can bring and blow water onto land to start up huge floods.
im guessing , hurricanes can form over seas , cuasing disruptions in seas cuasing big waves even floods (could be in rivers too). So basicallly stirrring up water and making it g over land :P

The DHS Hurricane 2 rubber with a blue sponge is the Hurricane 2 20, not the Hurricane 2 19. The blue sponge version typically indicates an upgraded version of the rubber with enhanced properties compared to the traditional orange sponge version.

Hurricane Katrina did not form over the Bahamas. It originated as a tropical depression over the southeastern Bahamas and gradually intensified as it moved westward over warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico, eventually making landfall along the coasts of Louisiana and Mississippi in 2005.

Hurricane Rita was the next actual one that made landfall and was substantial.

Every hurricane is different and there are many factors that contribute to its development. However, the following is a general sequence of events that could occur during the development of a Category 2 hurricane (wind speed 96-110 mph) approaching a coastal area. 96 hours before landfall At first there aren't any apparent signs of a storm. The barometer is steady, winds are light and variable, and fair-weather cumulus clouds appear. 72 hours Little has changed, except that the swell on the ocean surface has increased to about six feet and the waves come in every nine seconds. This means that the storm, far over the horizon, is approaching. 48 hours The sky is now clear of clouds, the barometer is steady, and the wind is almost calm. The swell is now about nine feet and coming in every eight seconds. 36 hours The first signs of the storm appear. The barometer is falling slightly, the wind is around 11 mph, and the ocean swell is about 13 feet and coming in seven seconds apart. On the horizon, a large mass of white cirrus clouds appear. As the veil of clouds approaches, it covers more of the horizon. A hurricane watch is issued, and areas with long evacuation times are given the order to begin. 30 hours The sky is covered by a high overcast. The barometer is falling at .1 millibar per hour; winds pick up to about 23 mph. The ocean swell, coming in five seconds apart, is beginning to be obscured by wind-driven waves, and small whitecaps begin to appear on the ocean surface. 24 hours Small low clouds appear overhead. The barometer is falling by .2 millibars per hour, the wind picks up to 34 mph. The wind driven waves are covered in whitecaps, and streaks of foam begin to ride over the surface. Evacuations should be completed and final preparations made by this time. A hurricane warning is issued, and people living in low lying areas and in mobile homes are ordered to evacuate. 18 hours The low clouds are thicker and bring driving rain squalls with gusty winds. The barometer is steadily falling at half a millibar per hour and the winds are whistling by at 46 mph. It is hard to stand against the wind. 12 hours The rain squalls are more frequent and the winds don't diminish after they depart. The cloud ceiling is getting lower, and the barometer is falling at 1 millibar per hour. The wind is howling at hurricane force at 74 mph. The sea advances with every storm wave that crashes ashore, and foam patches. 6 hours The rain is constant and the 92 mph wind drives it horizontally. The barometer is falling 1.5 millibar per hour, and the storm surge has advanced above the high tide mark. Thesea surface a whitish mass of spray. It is impossible to stand upright outside without bracing yourself. 1 hour The rain becomes heavier. Low areas inland become flooded. The winds are at 104 mph, and the barometer is falling at 2 millibar per hour. The sea is white with foam and streaks. The storm surge has covered coastal roads and 16 foot waves crash into buildings near the shore. The eye Just as the storm reaches its peak, the winds begin to slacken, and the sky starts to brighten. The rain ends abruptly, and the clouds break and blue sky is seen. The barometer continues falling at 3 millibar per hour and the storm surge reaches the furthest inland. The winds fall to near calm, but the air is uncomfortably warm and humid. Huge walls of cloud appear on every side, brilliant white in the sunlight. At this point, the barometer stops falling and in a moment begins to rise, soon as fast as it fell. The winds begin to pick up slightly and the clouds on the far side of the eye wall loom overhead.

Hurricanes can move at different speeds, but on average they move at about 10-20 miles per hour. However, faster-moving hurricanes can reach speeds of 30 mph or more. The forward speed of a hurricane can also vary depending on environmental conditions and geographic location.

Hurricane Carmen occurred in 1974, and was subsequently retired due to the destruction it left behind. A Cape Verde storm originating as a wave off the African coast, it never really became a powerful storm until it reached Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula where it came ashore in a sparsely populated region as a high-end category 4 storm. It then emerged in the Gulf of Mexico and moved north, making landfall again in Louisiana causing extensive wind and flooding damage. However, between Mexico and the USA, it only killed 8 people.
