Miami, which also experiences massive power outages when they're hit with even category 1 hurricanes. > The rains caused flooding, and the combination of rains and winds downed trees and power lines, leaving 1.45 million people without power. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina
