Hurricane Katrina was a long-lived hurricane that made landfall three times along the United States coast and reached Category 5 at its peak intensity. The colors on the ocean represent the sea surface temperatures, and satellite images of the hurricane clouds are laid over the temperatures to clearly show the hurricane positions. Katrina was then a large Category 3 hurricane (See Appendix A for Saffir-Simpson Scale) with winds of 125 mph and a central pressure of 920 millibars (mb).
