"Katrina, written ?????? in Hebrew, has a numerical equivalent of 374. Two relevant passages in Torah share the exact numerical equivalent of 374 also: ??? ?????, or "They have done you evil" (see Gen. 50:17), and ?? ?????, or "The sea upon land" (see Exodus 14:15). The former passage may be an indication as to the spiritual cause of Katrina, while the latter passage describes the physical manifestation."

(Please keep in mind that this is a Kabbalist website who believes in reincarnation and does not believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah.  However, I found it very interesting as to what Katrina means in Hebrew which is my reason for posting this information.)
