Camille was the most powerful storm on record to strike the US mainland. The 1935 Hurricane (it had no name) was much more powerful.

That Galveston storm in 1900 was probably worse. From 6K to 12K dead, a city destroyed.
Not much use comparing catastrophes, but both were most certainly worse than Katrina.
