| Title: | Hurricane Katrina |
| Caption: | Satellite image of Hurricane Katrina heading north toward initial landfall on the Mississippi Delta near Buras, Louisiana. Spiraling rain bands of the storm fill the entire eastern Gulf of Mexico from southwestern Louisiana on the upper left to the west coast of Florida on the right. An extremely large, well-defined eye marks the center of this storm which had a Category 5 intensity at the time this infrared image was received from NOAA's GOES-12 satellite on Sunday, August 28, 2005.
