Caption: High winds and rotating clouds make up this eyewall of Hurricane Katrina. Photo taken from a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hurricane Hunter aircraft flying through the eye the day before the storm struck the Gulf Coast. Aircraft measurements of a hurricane's wind speed and atmospheric pressure help predict its behavior. (Photo by Lieutenant Mike Silah/courtesy NOAA)
