Hurricane Katrina is a hurricane that caused extensive and severe damage over the southeastern United States, including Louisiana's largest city New Orleans, in August, 2005. Federal disaster declarations blanketed 90,000 square miles of the United States, an area almost as large as the United Kingdom. Katrina may eventually be classified as the worst natural disaster to hit the United States to date. Disaster relief plans are in operation in the affected areas. Currently, five million people are without power in the Gulf Coast region, and it may be up to two months before all power is restored.
