Hurricane Katrina started like many hurricanes as a tropical wave. In this case near the Bahamas. The system fed on the moisture from the warm ocean water and organized into Tropical Depression Twelve. As it continued to strengthen it soon became Tropical Storm Katrina and eventually Hurricane Katrina.
