in 2005 hurricane katrina and rita became one of the most destructive disasters in history due to this issue?
storm surge
tornados
high winds
rainforest leeching
For the first question, in 1900, river diversions did not involve Hoover dam (built later) or Glen Canyon dam (also built later), and Santa Ana river did not steal all water from Colorado River. The statement about Colorado River being most powerful at the mouth is not relevant to the diversion context.
For the second question, Hurricane Katrina and Rita were extremely destructive mainly due to storm - surge which caused massive flooding. Tornados are not the main reason for the destruction of these hurricanes, high winds are a part but storm - surge was more devastating, and rainforest leeching is unrelated.
