Well, you don’t have to live in America to know about Hurricane Katrina, especially since there are people around the world who learn in school about the most destructive hurricane of all time that almost wiped our country off the world map. Honestly, if you haven’t heard of this hurricane before, it means that you should read and improve your knowledge a little more.
That being said, Hurricane Katrina was a huge Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that killed at least 2,000 people and $125 billion in damage in August 2005. Katrina was the costliest hurricane at that time (now being tied with Hurricane Harvey that occurred in 2017).
