Hurricane Katrina - Visible/Infra-Red Satellite Loop

An excellent combined visible/infra-red satellite loop of the lifecycle of Hurricane Katrina from 0015z 08/26/05 through 1545z 08/29/05. The loop starts with Katrina making landfall at Miami, Florida as a Category One, then moving west-southwest into the Gulf of Mexico, strengthening to Category Five instensity and finally weakening to a Category Three before crossing extreme Southeast Louisiana and making a final landfall on the Gulf coast at the Louisiana/Mississippi border.

It DID weaken to a Cat 3. That doesn't mean that all the water that built up from when it was a Cat 5 just suddenly disappeared....You also have to think about it's size too. It nearly covered the entire Gulf and it was bigger than Camille! The larger the storm the higher the surge. THAT'S why the surge was so high!

@volcrazy89 your fucking stupid Katrina was a Cat 5 hurricane. She weakened before she hit land. Just cuz she weakened to a Cat 3, it doesnt mean the Cat 5 storm surge just disappears.
