Hurricane Katrina was the eleventh storm and fifth
hurricane on the year 2005 and originated over the Bahamas from the interaction
between a tropical wave and the remnants of the tropical depression ten. Morning
of the next day, the new depression intensified into tropical storm Katrina and
generally headed westward to Florida. But it only strengthened into a hurricane
in two hours before making a landfall at Hallandale Beach and Aventura. It then
deepen after emerging from the Gulf of Mexico. Total property damage was 108
billion US dollars.
