The number of fatalities on the second line of the overall entry should be changed from 1836 to 1392. NOAA revised its earlier estimate (the source of currently cited numbers) based upon new published medical information in later years.
Revised estimates from the NOAA Tropical Cyclone Report provided in the link below (see casualty and damage statistics, page 11).
National Hurricane Center at NOAA, publicly reported in the following report, revised in January 2023: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL122005_Katrina.pdf
Other outdated numbers appear throughout this article and should be brought up to current based upon the revised report. If you agree with the need to update, should I note other instances?

Done Geardona (talk to me?) 15:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]When Hurricane Harvey’s total damage was estimated at $125 billion in 2017, why did Katrina’s total damage increase $108 billion to $125 billion? If it’s inflation, why isn’t the total damage for other destructive hurricanes like Andrew or Ivan increased. 35.130.105.90 (talk) 15:38, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
