[edit] Why were these deleted?
[edit] Deaths
How many deaths were related back to Katrina and how many were to other things. According to the NHC Katrina only caused 1500 Deaths, with 1200 odd being direct. However we have a death total of 1800 so which is correct?.Jason Rees (talk) 17:58, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- Neither....Totals are all over the place and will likely remain like that forever. From what I've seen, 1,464 deaths have been confirmed in Louisiana alone so their total of 1,500 is definitely too low to begin with. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:36, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Category 6
Hurricane Katrina was a category 6 because if the strongest wind was 175 than it has to be a category 6 because the minimum wind speed is 174. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.194.98 (talk) 21:46, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- There is no category 6, there is no upper bound on category 5. --Golbez (talk) 17:59, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
After the series of powerful storm systems of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, a few newspaper columnists and scientists brought up the suggestion of introducing Category 6, and they have suggested pegging Category 6 to storms with winds greater than 174 or 180 mph (78 or 80 m/s); 150–155 knots (280–287 km/h).[7][15] Only a few storms of this category have been recorded, most were West Pacific and titled as super typhoons, most notably Typhoon Tip in 1979 with sustained winds of 190 mph (310 km/h).[16]
According to Robert Simpson, there are no reasons for a Category 6 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale because it is designed to measure the potential damage of a hurricane to manmade structures. If the wind speed of the hurricane is above 155 mph (249 km/h), then the damage to a building will be "serious no matter how well it's engineered".[3]

[edit] Five deadliest.
When you click the link to deadliest hurricanes, Katrina is nowhere near the top. Where did this claim come from? 24.118.168.217 (talk) 21:15, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- Notice the disclaimer next door to the deadliest hurricane fact (in the US) - which is correct per a) the TCR and b) Blake et al 2011.Jason Rees (talk) 22:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
