How This Hurricane Shook The U.S. 🇺🇸🌪️

Transcript: Ever heard about this hurricane that shook the United States?

This hurricane was so destructive that it caused approximately $125 billion in property damages and so much more, earning the title of one of the worst natural disasters to ever hit the U.S.

It originated from a tropical wave formed over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005. It first hit Florida as a Category 1 hurricane, but as it moved over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, it transformed into something even scarier than your girlfriend when she’s hangry!

By August 28, it had become a Category 5 hurricane with winds over 175 mph. The very next day, it hit Louisiana as a Category 3 hurricane, with storm surges 20 to 28 feet above normal tide levels.

If you think you know the name of this hurricane, hold that thought and hit that like button!

The storm surge from this hurricane led to about 80% of New Orleans being flooded, with some areas 15 feet underwater, damaging 800,000 homes in total.

And the name of this deadly hurricane is... Hurricane Katrina.

“This hurricane shook the U.S.” my Florida brain: “which one?”

[ALLGRIT_DETROITLIONS]

Who else knew it was Hurricane Katrina?

[SomeWhiteHairedDude]

"KATRINA!!! HERE COMES THE HURRICANE BISH (WAUH) HERE COMES THE HURRICANE BEACH (WAUH) KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA (WAUH) RATATATTATATATATTA!!!!"

Katrina did not go directly through Louisiana, went through Mississippi coast. The rain water filled and destroyed the levees in New Orleans.

[ignoredstopsign]

“do you know this hurricane” literally everyone from louisiana “yes we know the hurricane “

[pmoney]

As a Mississippian it hit us pretty dam hard (pause) and New Orleans will literally get flooded by about anything cause it’s below sea level

[kissalude]

Katrina rocked us hard. Lost nearly everything and my family has never completely recovered.

Literally had to swim in my kitchen and living room as the water rose the Monday after the storm.

“They call me hurricane Katrina because the government is not coming”
“The only thing we have to fear is FEMA itself”

[iamherrr]

the reason why New Orleans flooded wasn’t directly because of the hurricane, but because the Levee filled up with rainwater and it broke, flooding New Orleans.

[DavidMartin-udgs]

The path is a bit incorrect on this graphic. It hit a bit east of new orleans and hit Mississippi more head on, New Orleans was devastated with flooding, however. I remember taking shelter in my home during it, and even the eye passing over us

[trubizu]

Fun fact! It snowed in New Orleans on Christmas Day 8 months before Katrina

[qpeocn]

Hurricanes be like it wasn't Patricia, it was Katrina!😂

[isaacalvarado]

Many Mississippi Coastal cities were also destroyed. (Biloxi, Gulfport, Long Beach)

[AleandroMusicOfficial]

My friend has his father, who recently passed away during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 with damaged homes and cars who flooded near New Orland! So rest in peace 🙏

People from New Orleans already who already knew it was Katrina

Mississippi was hit pretty hard as well not just Louisiana. The eye made landfall near Pass Christian Mississippi.

[Darkhalo]

I was 8 when this storm hit. The eye passed right over us. My family and I lost everything we owned. I'll never forget coming back to my house and seeing a boat inside the house, all the windows broken, doors ripped off, and the ceiling caving in.

[juliangang]

That track gave me cancer. The eye went over Mississippi. It wouldn’t have been that bad for us (Nola) if the levees didn’t fail.

[mr.originality]

I got direct hit by Hurricane Ian. My house miraculously only took minor damage (Worst was 2 rooms getting destroyed by wind and rain after windows broke). But the house next to me had a tree crashed into it and got demolished. Hurricanes are frightening man. I heard it's the 4th or 3rd most destructive hurricane on record. I felt like I was in the I Survived series. Instead of Hurricane Katrina it was Hurricane Ian.
