# of miles inland destroyed by Katrina?
How far inland did Katrina destroy, such as 15 milies from the coast or 50 miles from the the deep...
Answers:
The nouns effected by Katrina be quite roomy. It effected a key portion of the Gulf coast an area the size of Great Britain (to put it within perspective). New Orleans would have truly faired quiet capably if the levees had not breached.
Just progress to Google Earth and look at all of the pretty unmarked roofs. They stretch from the Texas/Louisiana border to Florida. That ought to give you some perspective. The one/two punch of Katrina/Rita really did a number.
When you go to the MS Gulf Coast, where on earth most of the storm surge hit, you see cleaned slabs for several city blocks away from the ocean. Literally, everything is gone except wreckage and the Live Oak trees, which survived. It was an amazing site - EVERYTHING gone for blocks inland and miles long contained by an east-west direction. The west side (Long Beach/Pass Christian) is noticeably more undermined than the east side (Ocean Springs). It is one of those things that photographs/video do not capture powerfully and that you have to see to believe. That is the nouns of maximum devastation, but winds of more than 100 miles per hour extended for 60 miles into the state of Mississippi. That lead to falling trees which destroyed hundreds of homes and led to thousands of homeless population. It is called the largest fluent disaster in the US for a defence. Nature is truly awesome; in this travel case, it is awesome in a fundamentally, very discouraging way.
"Traveler" is right in the order of the size of the devastated area. Katrina be the most powerful storm ever recorded to strike North America. Katrina be still a "category 1" hurricane when the storm passed through Jackson, Mississippi.
To specifically answer your question. the gulf coast be wrecked to a distance of 20 to 50 niles from the coast, and from west of New Orleans to east of Mobile.
