What Happened Before Hurricane Katrina
What happened before the hurricane?
The tropical misery which transformed into Hurricane Katrina, constructed over Bahamas on August 23,2005, and the weather predictors soon had the ability to warned people living amongst the Gulf Coast region, that a large storm is on its way. By the time August the 28th had hit evacuations were under way through out the Gulf of the United States. That same day National Weather predictors predicted after the storm the majority of the Gulf Coast would be unsafe for weeks or longer.
What was the Death Toll?
Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst hurricanes ever to strike the United States. Estimated 1,833 people didn’t survive the hurricane followed by flooding in late August 2005, while other millions …show more content…
Large storm clouds started to fold around the north side of the storm’s distribution midpoint in early hours of August 24.With winds approximately 40mph (65kph) the hurricane was labeled Tropical Storm Katrina. By the time it made a southern Florida entrance it was August 25, Katrina was Category 1 hurricane during that time. While it created some flooding and accidents- two people died- all along the first strike, Katrina came to be another hurricane in an active hurricane season. The storm had lost strength after hovering over Florida and, finally just became a tropical storm. But, water free again, Katrina halted under a large high level cyclone which influenced the entire Gulf of Mexico, and hastily obtained power. Again, on the 26 of August, Katrina had increased back to a hurricane, and developed into a Category 5 storm on the 28 of August, with winds storming at around 175mph (280kph). The storm rotated north towards Louisiana coast. The hurricane lost strength to a Category 3 storm before striking along the Louisiana-Mississippi outskirts on the morning of August 29 with supported winds about 120mph (193kph). Katrina lost strength to a Category 1 hurricane after forcing inland above southern and central Mississippi. It was downsized to a tropical storm during the first 6 hours later, northwest of Meridian, Mississippi, and finally was called an extratropical low on August
