I never read past the OP saying:
"Katrina was a CAT-3 and not that powerful."

"The Saffir-Simpson intensity scale ranks a hurricane in one of five
categories based upon its maximum sustained wind speed. Although
Category 1 and 2 hurricanes make landfall regularly in the United
States, higher intensity hurricanes (Categories 3 through 5) make
landfall less frequently than Category 1 or 2 hurricanes.

Only three hurricanes have made landfall as Category 5 intensity
(Labor Day Hurricane of 1935; Camille in 1969; Andrew in 1992). As
intense as Rita and Katrina were in 2005, they thankfully weakened
well below Category 5 prior to landfall."
