Hurricane Ida vs. Hurricane Katrina: Comparing the two storms



There are a lot of similarities between the two storms. WFAA meteorologist Jessie Hawila compares them.
Many people are drawing comparisons between Ida and Katrina. Eerily enough, they’re expected to share the same date of landfall. Katrina was August 29, 2005 and Ida will make landfall August 29, 2021. While there are tons of similarities to be found, subtle differences between the two could make a big difference in what happens in New Orleans.

The storm surge with Hurricane Ida is expected to be extreme and life-threatening. Some parts of the Louisiana coast could see storms surge of 10-15 feet.

Why is a DALLAS station doing this? they might as well be broadcasting from New York! These guys have VERY likely never been within 500 miles of a REAL hurricane. WWL is the station that KNOWS hurricanes. Get rid of these clowns.

They learned nothing from Hurricane Betsy, nothing from Camille, nothing from Katrina, nothing from ANY hurricane going back to 1812! THAT one destroyed the entire area and the French consul wrote that not even the oldest person in their settlement had seen anything like it. It's moronic! Only since the industrial revolution has this idea of never letting a city die taken hold. The best thing you could do for New Orleans is to let the hurricane have it's fun. Then bulldoze the whole place and turn it into a nice wildlife sanctuary.

Now ida has 150+mph winds. So I think it’s safe to say ida might end up being worse

Lazy Blazer August 30, 2021 at 1:39 am

Guys, there are multiple factors at play here. It is not all about wind speed. Yes, Ida had a windspeed of 150-160mph when eye wall hit land. Katrina on the other hand had around 130+mph wind speed when eye wall came ashore. There are many differentiating factors involved in how catastrophic the hurricane may be. Storm surge was the devastating factor with Katrina…We saw 30-35ft storm surge VS. an estimated 10-20ft storm surge with Ida. Yes, 10-20ft surge is significant. But has no comparison to what Katrina brought. Also, Katrina gained maximum intensity further off of the coast, allowing a much greater volume of water to be affected by the storm, therefore creating a much larger body of water subjected to storm surge…also the trajectory in which Katrina approached the coast was much worse than the approach angle of Ida. With Ida, the intensification happened much later…much closer to land. Therefore there was not quite as much time to build such a severe storm surge as Katarina did.

The media is doing their best to turn this storm into a world crisis.

I was in 4th grade during Kartrina and I will never forget that. It blew my mind as a kid to see such weather and so many lives destroyed.

Ron Ondechek August 30, 2021 at 2:42 pm

Top notch comparison. Very helpful info.

They compare it to before, prepare with ‘new infrastructure bill’ and here we are.

Ida was much much stronger, but it was moving so fast, Katrina was a slow moving hurricane .

Difference is Katrina lacked heavy downpours but she made up for heavy damaging gust winds (how do I know this well I was kid the weather cast thought katrina was going to pass by florida barely damaging anything knocked few county power outages in my area)

Ida had more heavy rain down pours, but lacked wind/damaged shear.

Overall these 2 storms are both equally bad and cost of damages they produced we're heavy
