A hurricane is an intense tropical storm with winds exceeding 119 km/h or roughly 73 mph. The formation of Katrina started on August 23rd. It started as a tropical depression located southeast of the Bahamas. On August 24th, the tropical depression moved closer to the Bahamas where the water drifted around 85 degrees fahrenheit. The warm water caused warm moist air to rise, creating a wide layout of thunderstorm clouds. The condensation of the clouds released more heat causing the cool air to heat and rise. As the air rised, more warm air took its place and created a circling spiral of wind. the depression soon intensified to a tropical storm with winds only reaching 40
