Hurricane Katrina
-
Hurricane Katrina devastated portions of the central Gulf of Mexico U.S. coast from southeast Louisiana to Alabama ( satellite maps) at the end of August and will most likely go down as one of the worst natural disasters in the history of this country. Katrina's deadly track began as she moved across South Florida ( radar and observations). Katrina then strengthened into a category 5 Hurricane ( satellite loop) while moving northward toward the Central Gulf Coast. Although Katrina weakend before landfall, the Category 4 hurricane's fierce winds and near-record storm surge were still able to cause widespread destruction and loss of life.
