Hurricane Katrina, one of the strongest storms in recent history, originated as a tropical depression in the Bahamas in August 2005. It intensified to a Category 4 hurricane, causing massive destruction in the southeastern United States, particularly in New Orleans. The storm led to severe flooding, food shortages, and a health crisis. The US National Guard and international aid helped in recovery efforts. The damages were estimated at $169 billion, with around 1,800 fatalities. The storm's impact led to increased federal funding for flood protection, and the name Katrina was retired due to its devastating effects.
