The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history, shattering previous records on repeated occasions. Of the storms that made landfall, five of the seven major hurricanes—Dennis, Emily, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma—were responsible for most of the destruction. Other USA hurricanes that hit land are:\nCindy, Dennis, Emily and Ophelia, \n\nMore names are here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Atlantic_hurricane_season

Heavy rains and thunderstorms created from the hurricane may cause flooding in the area or high winds might spawn tornadoes, localized flooding.  Essentially by 200 miles inland, the storm energy caused by warm moist air has been dispated as winds and heavy rains.  This disruption in the atmosphere could spawn toronados.  Hope this helps.

I recently read an article on accuweather.com about this.  Apparently, it all depends where in the South you're talking about.  Their forecast indicates that Texas to Louisana along with South Florida have the highest chance of seeing hurricanes while West Florida to Alabama (areas hit highly in the previous seasons) have a lower probability of impact.  The overall forecast is for an above average season but not as great as last year's record season.  Anybody saying they know for sure are probably trying to sell you something.  Basically, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Hey Blondey. You can find heaps of information just by using the Yahoo! search engine. Just type in "Hurricane Katrina".\n\nI just did a presentation on Katrina last week, myself. \n\nKatrina made landfall on Monday, August 29, 2005. It came ashore just east of Grand Isle, Louisiana, at 6:30 A.M. E.T. (eastern time). Katrina was a category 3 storm with 115 mph sustained winds on Saturday, Aug. 27th- but by Sunday, it had intensified to a Category 5 storm, with winds of 160 mph.\n\nThe president of the New Orleans city council estimated that more than 100 people in the city were stranded on their rooftops or in their attics, because there was up to 14 feet of floodwaters in and around their homes (reported by Dave Cohen of CBS radio affiliate WWL).\n\nSome facts that support the government response:\n\n1. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, and other search and rescue units were in New Orleans or elsewhere in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama on Monday, after the storm passed out of the area. \n\n2. The full extent of the devastation to the Gulf Coast Region and the levee breaches in New Orleans were not known until Tuesday.\n\n3. A convoy of about 500 buses reached the Superdome late Wednesday.\n\n4. The first of 500 busloads of evacuees reached Houston early Thursday.\n\nThere was a lot of criticism towards the government's response to Katrina, as well. Do a little research, and you will find plenty of things to talk about. Good luck!

The Saffir-Simpson Scale ranks hurricanes from Category 1 to Category 5, the most powerful. \n\nCATEGORY 1\nWinds: 74 to 95 mph \n\nDamage: Minimal; signs, unanchored mobile homes, tree branches power lines blown down, some coastal flooding. Central pressure will be 28.94 inches or more and will be accompanied by a 4- to 5-foot storm surge.\n   \nCATEGORY 2\nWinds: 96 to 110 mph \n\nDamage: Moderate; larger signs, roofs, doors, windows, mobile homes, small boats, some flooding, tree branches blown down. Pressure 28.50 to 28.93 inches accompanied by a storm surge of 6 to 8 feet.\n   \nCATEGORY 3\nWinds: 111 to 130 mph \n\nDamage: Extensive; minor damage to buildings, some walls fail, mobile homes, trees blown down. Flooding washes away smaller coastal structures. Flooding up to 8 miles inland. Pressure 27.91 to 28.49 inches accompanied by a storm surge of nine to 12 feet\n   \nCATEGORY 4\nWinds: 131 to 155 mph \n\nDamage: Extreme; almost total destruction of doors, windows. Some wall and roof failure. Major damage to lower floors of oceanfront buildings. Evacuations up to 6 miles inland. Pressure 27.17 to 27.90 inches accompanied by a storm surge of 13 to 18 feet.. Hurricanes Andrew, Hugo, and Hazel were Category 4 storms.\n   \nCATEGORY 5\nWinds: More than 155 mph \n \nDamage: Catastrophic; buildings, roofs, structures destroyed. Flooding up to 10 miles inland, evacuation of area. Pressure less than 27.17 inches accompanied by a storm surge higher than 18 feet. Remember Luis in 1995

There is no good way to predict it so early in the year. As the sea surface temperature data and weather patterns develop closer to the season some of the models will be able to make more predictions. \n\nThe historical data offers some insight, but is fairly meaningless as a prediction tool:\nSince  1851 Alabama has been hit by 22 hurricanes, including 6 of Cat3 or greater. Mississippi has had 15, with 8 of Cat 3 or more. Louisiana has had 49 hurricanes, with 18 of Cat 3 or more. Forty percent of all hurricanes in the US hit Florida, and 83% of Cat 4 or higher have hit either Florida or Texas. Interesting to note that New York has had 12 hurricanes and 5 of Cat 3 or more. \n\nAlabama probably has a lower statistical chance than many states just because of its small amount of Gulf coastline. However, if you happen to be in the path, that statistic becomes pretty worthless.

Brittany, the NCDC (National Climatic Data Center) indicates  8211 different storm events since January 1st of 1995.  If by "natural disasters" you are specifically referring to "weather" disasters, that's the place to go for further information.  You can visit them (and search for further information) at the link below.  Good luck!

Looks like a major 'cane hit Long Island in '38 and two small ones have brushed the island in the last 70 years. But it doesn't appear any have gone "downtown" per se. There is some fear that (after Miami and New Orleans) NYC is due to be the next major disaster, read below.

Hurricane Rita is the fourth-most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the most intense tropical cyclone observed in the Gulf of Mexico. Rita caused $10 billion in damage on the U.S. Gulf Coast in September 2005. Rita was the seventeenth named storm, tenth hurricane, fifth major hurricane, and third Category 5 hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season.\n\nRita made landfall on September 24 near the Texas-Louisiana border as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. It continued on through parts of southeast Texas. The storm surge caused extensive damage along the Louisiana and extreme southeastern Texas coasts and completely destroyed some coastal communities. The storm killed seven people directly; many others died in evacuations and from indirect effects\nHurricane Rita Category 5 hurricane  (SSHS) \n\nthis link will give u all other details of hurricane rita tht u want to know.\n \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Rita
