NASA | Katrina Retrospective: 5 Years After the Storm

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall along the Gulf Coast. Five years later, NASA revisits the storm with a short video that shows Katrina as captured by satellites. Before and during the hurricane's landfall, NASA provided data gathered from a series of Earth observing satellites to help predict Katrina's path and intensity. In its aftermath, NASA satellites also helped identify areas hardest hit.

I love NASA. I wish they didn't have to worry about a budget. What could they do if they didn't have money problems? What couldn't they do?

How about someone recognize Hurricane Rita. Since Katrina hit i haven't heard anybody or anything talk about Rita, and it was just as bad, wind and strength wise. we were out of power for 4 weeks from Rita.

Excellent job on the images. It's still difficult to watch, but looking at it from a standpoint of just data, well it helps.
