8 years ago today, on 8/29/2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in southeastern Louisiana. Despite the horrific devastation and over 1800 confirmed casualties, Katrina was one of the most beautiful hurricanes - a true textbook specimen. What do I mean by a beautiful hurricane and how dare I call such a monster by a compliment? Just look at the satellite image from the time she was a Cat 5 in the Gulf, then a Cat 3 at landfall. Look at the symmetry of the storm. Look at the depth and definition of the eye. These images captivate the insane beauty behind the horrific tragedy of one of the worst natural disasters our nation has endured. ncdc.noaa.gov/extremeevents/images/2005/katrina-satellite.gif
