Hurricane Katrina had become a Category One hurricane, the lowest category in the hurricane-strength scale, when NASA's Terra satellite captured this image on August 25, 2005. The hurricane formed as a tropical depression late on August 23 and developed quickly into a tropical storm by the next morning.
