A very large hurricane that made landfall on August 28, 2005, a few miles to the east of New Orleans. Was a category 5 hurricane with winds in access of 170 MPH at first, but weakened before landfall to a strong category 4. Flooded 4/5 of new orleans, and wiped out many small communities along the coastline. Hundreds dead or missing. One of the worst hurricanes to hit the U.S. in recent history.

Hey bro, last week I met this chick named Katrina, after a few drinks we went back to her place, she grabbed a grapefruit and gave me a Hurricane Katrina.

The hurricane that totally destroyed New Orleans and whatever is surrounding it. People have been dying every day and still are (people are still stranded as I write this)

Seen as a right of passage in most groups of friends, the Hurricane Katrina (Often referred to as "The HK") is performed the night of birthday parties at midnight, usually starting at age of 20. The sequence of events goes as follows
At midnight, everyone at the party starts chanting "Hurricane Katrina" and begins to Make their way outside. Everyone gathers around the birthday boy/girl. Once everyone is gathered, the birthday boy/girl takes a handle of alcohol of their choice and takes a pull for as long as possible. As soon as the pull is complete, a bucket or a few cups of water are thrown on the birthday boy/girl. Directly after the water, the birthday boy/girl gets an extremely hard slap across the face (The birthday boy/girl gets to decide who slaps them ahead of time). Once the HK is complete, partying resumes with the birthday boy/girl's new found glory.

Nick: I'm really nervous about the HK man.
Ned: Don't be such a pussy. And make sure not to take a pussy pull. 5 seconds minimum.
Nick: I won't, my rep is on the line here
Erin: Did you see Nick's Hurricane Katrina?
Sam: Yeah, it was nuts. He got slapped so hard
Erin: For real, he's definitely going to be feeling that tomorrow.
Sam: He certainly got huge respect for him now
