Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina killed 1,836 people, all of them in the U.S.

Hurricane Katrina reached a maximum diameter of around 400 miles and affected a large part of the Gulf Coast, stretching from eastern Texas to Florida. It made initial landfall as a Category 3 storm near Buras, Louisiana, in the United States.

New Orleans population is between 360,000 or 380,000.Wikipedia has New Orleans' population at 469,000 which would be a higher population pre Katrina. I don't know where those figures come from because there are still a lot of neighborhoods that are still half empty. But the fact is New Orleans is 75% of it's pre Katrina population of 450,000.

I use to spend about $1100.00 a year on steaks @ winn dixie, but sense after hurricane Katrina the steaks have not been tender any more. every now and then when you buy a pack. You might get lucky and get one or two tender ones. I wander if you all changed suppliers or buyers.

The President Casino Biloxi was a permanently moored riverboat casino located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It had a distinctive paddlewheel and a multi-story structure built on top. The casino also featured various dining options, entertainment venues, and gaming areas for guests.

The author of the editorial "It's Time for a Nation to Return the Favor" wants readers to petition Congress to pay to rebuild and protect New Orleans.

Natural calamities can exacerbate social problems by causing displacement, loss of livelihoods, strain on resources, and damage to infrastructure. This can lead to increased poverty, food insecurity, health issues, and social unrest in affected communities. Vulnerable populations are often disproportionately affected, making it essential to address the social consequences of natural disasters through coordinated response and recovery efforts.

it changed the enviorment by happening and then their lives were totaly different asnd the place over flowed and a lot of people have died from it only a few people lived to tell the tail of hurricane Katrina

A hurricane can cause significant harm to people by destroying homes, causing flooding, and leading to injuries or fatalities. It can also disrupt infrastructure, such as power supplies and transportation networks, resulting in prolonged recovery periods. Navigating a hurricane requires advance preparation and adherence to safety instructions to protect lives and minimize damage.

No. Not by any means. Hurricane sandy was neither the largest nor strongest tropical cyclone on record. Hurricane Sandy has maximum winds of 110 mph (a category 2 hurricane), a minimum pressure of 940 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm), and a gale diameter of about 1,100 miles.

The largest and most intense tropical cyclone every recorded was Super Typhoon Tip, which had peak winds of 190 mph (well into category 5), a minimum pressure of 870 millibars, and a gale diameter of nearly 1400 miles.

The strongest Atlantic hurricane on record, if you use wind speed, was Hurricane Camille with winds of 190 mph. If you use pressure the strongest Atlantic storm was Hurricane Wilma at 882 millibars.

In terms of wind speeds tornadoes are the strongest storms, with winds potentially exceeding 300 mph.

Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005. The climograph for that day would likely show high temperatures and high humidity levels, typical for a late summer day in the region. Additionally, heavy rain and strong winds would be depicted in the climograph, reflecting the impact of the hurricane on the area.

The predicted impact that a hazard would have on people, services, and specific facilities and structures in the community is called a vulnerability assessment. This assessment helps identify potential weaknesses and areas of concern in order to plan and prepare for potential hazards and disasters.

Yes, several hospitals in New Orleans were severely damaged or rendered inoperable by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, leading to significant healthcare disruptions in the region. Patients had to be evacuated to other facilities, and the storm highlighted the vulnerabilities in the city's healthcare infrastructure.

From the time when Katrina was identified as a tropical depression to her demise as an extratropical storm, using archived data from Weatherunderground.com the distance is calculated to be 3617 mi (5820 km).

As a hurricane only Katrina traveled about 1656 miles.

There is not single data as Hurricane Katrina lasted for about a week. The storm first formed on August 23, 2005 and became a hurricane on August 25 just before striking Florida. Katrina made its most devastating landfall on the Gulf Coast on August 29. The remnants of Katrina were absorbed by another storm system on August 31.

When a hurricane approaches land, tremendous damage can occur in the built environment. The amount of damage depends both on the intensity of the storm and what it hits. A combination of winds, storm surges, and rain cause great damage to buildings, power lines, roads, and automobiles.

By one measure, yes. At peak intensity Hurricane Wilma had the lowest pressure at it center of any recorded hurricane in the Atlantic: 882 millibars. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. For comparison, normal sea level pressure is 1013 millibars. The previous record-holder, Hurricane Gilbert, had a central pressure of 888 millibars.

People responded to Hurricane Katrina with shock and disbelief at the extent of the devastation. There was widespread criticism of the slow government response and lack of preparedness. Many individuals and organizations stepped in to provide aid and support to those affected by the disaster.

Ever since Katrina the land has sunk slightly, the trees in the marshlands has snapped in half, land has eroded. There were many cracks in the roads before the hurricane, but now the cracks have increased in size. Every now and than while driving through a neighborhood boats continue to sit on the side of the road containing a water line from the flood caused by the levee break. Many neighborhoods have never been fixed or gutted leaving a big red X on the front door which was used to indicate if any bodies were found in the house following the storm. Many of the water lines throughout New Orleans are still there today as a constant reminder of what happened on the day Katrina hit land.

Hurricane Katrina started out as a tropical depression, as most hurricanes do, then strengthened to a tropical storm and then a category 1 hurricane.

Nor hurricane ever actually starts at hurricane intensity, and they have to go through category 1 to get to the other categories.

During Hurricane Katrina, floodwaters from the levee breaches in New Orleans reached heights of up to 20 feet in some areas, with the average depth of flooding being around 6-8 feet in many neighborhoods.
