Hurricane Spam (also known as Hurricane Katrina 2.0, Hurricane Ivan-Katrina, and the The Crazy Storm) was a catastrophic category 5 hurricane that affected a wide swath of the Caribbean and the Southeastern United States Hurricane Spam was the strongest, deadliest, and costliest Atlantic hurricane on record, following a very erratic track that resulted in three landfalls in Louisiana alone. The nineteenth tropical cyclone, eighteenth named storm, tenth hurricane, and fifth major hurricane, Spam formed from an African Easterly Wave that traveled across the Main Development Region with little development, but upon entering the Caribbean, rapidly intensified to the strongest storm on record; beating the previous record set by Hurricane Patricia in 2015 for highest maximum sustained wind speed

| - Hurricane Spam (also known as Hurricane Katrina 2.0, Hurricane Ivan-Katrina, and the The Crazy Storm) was a catastrophic category 5 hurricane that affected a wide swath of the Caribbean and the Southeastern United States Hurricane Spam was the strongest, deadliest, and costliest Atlantic hurricane on record, following a very erratic track that resulted in three landfalls in Louisiana alone. The nineteenth tropical cyclone, eighteenth named storm, tenth hurricane, and fifth major hurricane, Spam formed from an African Easterly Wave that traveled across the Main Development Region with little development, but upon entering the Caribbean, rapidly intensified to the strongest storm on record; beating the previous record set by Hurricane Patricia in 2015 for highest maximum sustained wind speed, and Typhoon Tip's record for lowest minimum pressure. Hurricane Spam was also notable for its very large size, nearly spanning the entire Gulf of Mexico. Most of southern Louisiana was entirely devastated, with most areas being deemed uninhabitable. Some towns and cities, including Baton Rouge and New Orleans, were never rebuilt. After the storm, the Louisiana state government announced that the new capitol of Louisiana would be Shreveport, replacing the former capitol Baton Rouge.
