No. But Katrina was the 6th largest in history. The largest Hurricane? The Great Labor Day Storm. Was the largest.
Katrina
No, the center, or eye, of a hurricane is actually calm. The strongest winds are in the area around it called the eye wall.
Ellen DeGeneres
The strongest type of extreme weather in terms of overall energy output would probably be a tropical cyclone (hurricane, typhoon, etc.). In terms of the violence of the event a tornado is the strongest.

Katrina was not the strongest hurricane ever recorded, but it was one of the most destructive. Hurricane Patricia, which hit Mexico in 2015, holds the record for the strongest hurricane by wind speed, with maximum sustained winds reaching 215 mph.
It's the strongest hurricane in 2005
Hurricane Katrina was an Atlantic hurricane. It was at its strongest over the Gulf of Mexico, which is part of the Atlantic basin.

Actually, Katrina is a hurricane, so they are the same, but there have only ever been two hurricanes named Katrina. There was the infamous Hurricane Katrina of 2005 and a lesser known one in 1981.

Yes. Hurricane Katrina was one of the most intense hurricanes ever recorded.

First of all, Katrina was a hurricane, not a tornado. Tornadoes do not have names. And second, no. Hurricane Katrina dissipated seven years ago and can never return. The name Katrina is retired, so no future hurricane will ever have that name.
Yes. Hurricane Katrina was incredibly destructive, but it was by no means the strongest hurricane on record. At peak intensity, Hurricane Katrina has sustained winds of 175 mph and a minimum central pressure of 902 millibars (lower pressure means a stronger storm). The position for highest sustained winds for an Atlantic hurricane is tied between Hurricane Camille (1969) and Hurricane Allen (1980), both of which peaked with sustained winds of 190 mph. In terms of pressure, Katrina is the 6th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record. First place goes to Hurricane Wilma, with a minimum central pressure of 882 millibars. The severity of a storm's impact is not purely a result of its intensity. In factm by landfall, Katrina had weakened to a 125 mph category 3. The incredible destruction from Katrina resulted from a combination of the storm's strength, large size, and where it hit. The major factor was the failure of the levees in New Orleans.
Hurricane Katrina was the largest and third strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall in the U.S. In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3, but Katrina peaked at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 miles per hour. The storm surge from Katrina was 20-feet (six meters) high. 705 people are reported as still missing as a result of hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina affected over 15 million people in different factors such as economy, evacuations, gas prices or drinking water. The final death toll was at 1,836, primarily from Louisiana (1,577) and Mississippi (238).
