It has been reported that 275,000 homes were lost as a result of the hurricane, which is ten times as many as any other natural disaster in US history. The final death toll of Hurricane Katrina was 1,836 people, which made it the third deadliest hurricane in US history. Unfortunately, 705 people are reported as still missing as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina cost the United States an estimated $110 billion in damages, which made it the costliest hurricane ever in US history.
