How did Hurricane Katrina, a Cat. 3 at landfall, obliterate Cat. 5 Hurricane Camille’s surge record?



Katrina was much larger than Camille and had been a Cat. 5 prior to landfall.

Katrina made landfall in a high tide cycle while Camille made landfall in a low tide cycle.

Intense development in the Gulf Coast Region between 1969 and 2005 lowered the mean elevation of the coast, making it more vulnerable to surge.
