6. Hurricane Katrina
Year: 2005
Maximum speed: 175 mph
Death toll: 1,833
Damage cost: $108 billion
Everyone has heard of one of the major hurricanes in the last 15 years since it’s one of the most recent, but also one of the most destructive hurricanes ever if we observe the damage. The population of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi probably still has nightmares. Especially Louisiana. Over 1,500 people died during the storm.
