No. Ike destroyed Galveston and much of our area in 2008. Katrina was in 2005. The fact that the levees in NOLA broke was responsible for the damage, more so than the hurricane itself.

When Ike made landfall it was as a Category 2, but with a large storm surge. No Category 3 hurricane has hit the United States since Katrina in 2005.
