Hurricane Katrina over the Louisiana coast on August 29, 2005 at 945 a.m. EDT, GOES12 satellite image. On Aug. 28, 2005 while in the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Katrina reached Category 5 status with maximum sustained winds near 175 mph. Katrina first made landfall near Miami, Florida on August 24 as a category 1 hurricane. It then moved south into the Gulf of Mexico where it intensified to a category 5 storm. Katrina made landfall on August 29 as a Category 3 storm with maximum winds estimated near 125 mph to the east of the center. Katrina caused immense damage and flooding and has killed over 50 people. Early estimates put the cost of the hurricane at $25 billion, making it the most expensive ever. Hurricanes are enormous rotating storm systems that form over tropical seas. They can be hundreds of miles wide.
