Katrina

Hello, today friday I will talk about the hurricane Katrina and the tropical storm Katrina, too.
Hurricane Katrina was formed over the Bahamas on august 23 of 2005 and crossed southern Florida as a category one hurricane causing some deaths, but in the Gulf of Mexico it reachec a category five.

The most significant number of deaths occured in New Orleans and Louisiana, in wich the catastrophical system failed. 80 % of the city became flooded. However the worst damages occured in coastal areas, such as all Mississippi, wich werw flooded over 90%. Water reached 10-19 kilometers from the beach.

The name Katrina has been used for three tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, three tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and one tropical cyclone in the South Pacific. The name was retired in the North Atlantic after the 2005 season for its devastating damage, and was replaced by Katia for the 2011 season.

·Hurricane Katrina- Struck Cuba in November 1981.
·Tropical Storm Katrina-struck near the same area as Hurricane Mitch a year earlier, but caused little impact in Central America. (western caribbean sea).
·Hurricane Katrina- Formed over the Bahamas,Miami, Florida, then struck near Buras, Louisiana and Long Beach, Mississippi. It caused over 81 billion dollars in damage and over 1,800 deaths, becoming the costliest and one of the deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
·Hurricane Katrina- Struck Baja California in 1967.
·Tropical Storm Katerina- Affected Baja California and hit Mexico in 1971.
·Hurricane Katrina- Did not affect land in 1975.

I can talk also about 2004's Cyclone Catarina, a south Atlantic cyclon, and don't confuse it with Katrina.

The name Katrina was first used in 1981 when they changed the names of the hurricanesand was retired because of the catastrophic damage in Louisiana in 2005. It was replaced by Katia. 

What is a Hurricane? And a Cyclone?
 A hurricane is a storm with violent wind and it forms a twister wich spins in bigs circles. It usually starts in tropical zones and each time it gets bigger.
A cyclons are winds that usually go with storms and it refers to the areas of the planet were the pressure is lower. And it's important for creating winds and atmospheric drafts.
