Visible Image of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico
This image shows the well-developed eye and eyewall of Hurricane Katrina on August 28, 2005 before it made landfall on the U.S. Gulf Coast near New Orleans. When this image was captured, the hurricane was at peak strength, a category 5 storm with winds near 175 miles per hour and was 18 hours from impacting the coast. Because of the strong eye, the ocean surface can be seen through the eye of the hurricane. This visual spectrum image was captured by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) GOES-12 weather satellite.
