Katrina hit land on August 29, 2005, near the Louisiana-Mississippi border.
Movie   ID   Title
NASA researchers studied several elements during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The top left window shows sea surface temperature and clouds.  The bottom left window shows wind analysis model data.   The top right window shows Rainfall Accumulation.  The bottom right window shows Hurricane Katrina's Hot Towers.   3362   NASA Scientists Research Tropical Cyclones
The animation shows the wind analysis data from August 23 through 31, 2005 from  NASA's Modeling, Analysis and Prediciton Program 2005.  This preview image shows Hurricane Katrina's winds just before  landfall on August 29, 2005. At this point, the storm has sustained winds near 145 mph.   3360   MAP '05 Models Hurricane Katrina's Winds from August 23, 2005 through August 31, 2005

Hurricane Katrina strikes the southeastern Louisiana and the northern gulf coast as a category 4 hurricane. Look under the clouds to see the rainfall that powers the storm.   3219   Hurricane Katrina from TRMM: August 29, 2005
Hurricane Katrina on August 28, 2005.  Blue represents areas with at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour. Green shows at least 0.5 inches of rain per hour. Yellow is at least 1.0 inches of rain and red is at least 2.0 inches of rain per hour.   3218   Hurricane Katrina from TRMM: August 28, 2005
GOES-12 longwave infrared imagery of Hurricane Katrina from August 26, 2005 through August 30, 2005.   3216   GOES-12 Imagery of Hurricane Katrina: Longwave Infrared Close-up (WMS)
Hurricane Katrina moves slowly toward Florida and dumps 6 to 10 inches of accumulated rainfall over the region.  In this animation, the amount of rainfall can be seen through color. blue is 0.25 inches per hour.  Green is 0.5 inches per hour.  Yellow is 1 inch per hour and red is 2 or more inches per hour.   3214   Hurricane Katrina from TRMM: August 25, 2005
