User:Vanilla Wizard/Hurricane Katia (2017)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hurricane Katia was a tropical cyclone that formed in the Gulf of Mexico on September 5, 2017. It was the eleventh named storm and sixth hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Hurricane Katia marked the first instance of three simultaneously active hurricanes since 2010. After impacting Mexico, Katia crossed into the eastern Pacific and reorganized into Major Hurricane Otis. Katia reached its peak as a Category 2 hurricane shortly before hitting eastern Mexico. A short-lived storm, Katia made landfall early in its life at a time when Mexico was experiencing earthquakes, triggering mudslides upon impact.
