175 mph was Katrina’s estimated wind speed at landfall. I’m a survivor from Gulfport, MS. I was 9 years old I’ll never forget when the eyewall hit everything went completely white you could see nothing outside. I wouldn’t be surprised if the winds were higher than 175mph. Because we evacuated from our home on the coastline over to the north side of the railroad tracks from the beach to my auntie’s apartment. Katrina’s winds were so strong in the eyewall onslaught that she shifted my auntie’s apartment off of its second story slab. So that give you a sense of how strong that storm was. Being on the east side of a Hurricane is the worst side so I say New Orleans was definitely spared and lucky. A levees break vs 175 mph winds and a storm surge as high as a four story building.

These have got to be at least winds between 100-125 mph.
Or more. 125 -150
