What weather problems did hurricane Katrina bring?

Answer 1

As with all tropical systems, Hurricane Katrina initially started as a disturbance in the pressure field of the tropics. It was gradually able to get itself organized in the vicinity of the Bahamas due to a favorable environment that included warm sea surface temperatures and minimal wind shear. It further developed into a tropical depression, and then rapidly strengthened into a tropical storm and a hurricane. as it was lifted to the northwest towards Florida by the upper-level steering winds.

Many hurricanes form every year in the tropical oceans, and several achieve strength and size greater than that of Katrina. It should be clear that these are naturally-occurring storms, and Katrina was no different in its behavior - it just happened to hit a highly-populated city, which has long been identified as being vulnerable to hurricanes. It is possible that anthropogenic global warming may have enhanced it somewhat, but there is no way to make this determination. Whether it did or did not, New Orleans should have been prepared for a hurricane of this magnitude (it was only a category 3 when it made landfall) for a long time, and the government response was lacking.

Answer 2

Hurricane Katrina caused massive rainfall and storms that ravaged the Gulf Coast. The hurricane also led to mass flooding, power outages, and a number of fatalities in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

Answer 3

Hurricane Katrina was the costliest hurricane to hit the U.S, as of August 24, 2011. Tons of homes were destroyed, over 1.5 thousand people were killed, many people were made homeless. Hurricane Katrina cost the U.S. 108 billion U.S. dollars, and (of course) was a category 5 hurricane and you will never see a hurricane named Katrina again.
