Katrina stalled beneath a very large upper-level anticyclone that dominated the entire Gulf of Mexico, and rapidly gained strength. Katrina re-intensified into a hurricane on Aug. 26, and became a Category Five storm on Aug. 28, with winds blowing at about 175 mph (280 kph). The storm turned north toward the Louisiana coast. The storm weakened to a Category 3 storm before making its second landfall along the Louisiana-Mississippi border on the morning of Aug. 29. [Infographic: Hurricane Katrina History and Numbers]

Katrina weakened to a Category 1 hurricane after moving inland over southern and central Mississippi.
