Hurricane Katrina is one of the most famous hurricanes in American history. It hit the city of New Orleans in August 2005. The wind reached speeds of 175 miles per hour. The storm started over the Bahamas on 23 August. It crossed Florida into the Gulf of Mexico and gained strength quickly. It hit land at Buras-Triumph in the state of Louisiana and grew weaker as it traveled north. It finally moved over the Great Lakes and into Canada. Sea levels rose by up to 28 feet, and the sea caused terrible damage in the city of New Orleans because the city is below sea level, and the levee system failed. Approximately 1,200 people died in the storm altogether, and the cost of the storm damage was estimated at $125 billion.
