With over $81 billion in damages, the storm also claimed 1,836 lives.
As Katrina made her way inland and died down, rain spread north, northeast as far as Kentucky, bringing with it flooding.

Did you know that it doesn’t take a hurricane to flood your home? Flood damage doesn’t always come from nature. Despite the loss flood victims can face, homeowners living in high-risk flood zones are more likely to come out on top due to their mortgages requiring flood insurance coverage.
The best time to buy a policy is before the wet season to avoid being hindered by the standard waiting period, which can vary from 10 to 14 to 30 days from purchase.
