• The word "hurricane" is derived from Hurican, the
  god of evil of the Carib people of the Caribbean.
  Hurican was himself inspired by the Mayan god
  Hurakan, who destroyed humans with great storms
  and floods.
• Hurricanes are actually tropical cyclones. This
  generic term applies to tropical or sub-tropical
  ocean storms with winds topping 74 miles an hour
  (65 kilometers an hour). Names such as
  "hurricane" and "typhoon" refer to cyclones that
  occur in different regions, but they are the same
  type of storm.

• The first image, taken in July 2001, shows narrow
  sandy beaches and adjacent overwash sandflats,
  low vegetated dunes, and backbarrier marshes
  broken by ponds and channels. The second image
  shows the same location on August 31, 2005, two
  days after Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the
  Louisiana and Mississippi coastline. Storm surge
  and large waves from Hurricane Katrina submerged
  the islands, stripped sand from the beaches, and
  eroded large sections of the marsh. Today, few
  recognizable landforms are left on the Chandeleur
  Island chain.

• In the top image, taken in 1998, notice the Deep
  South Motel to the left and the apartment
  building to the right. The bottom image shows the
  same location on August 31, 2005, two days after
  Hurricane Katrina made landfall. This photo shows
  that a small portion of the motel is only
  structure left standing in the area.

Mainland Mississippi

• The top image, taken off the coast of Waveland,
  MS in July 1998, shows several large oceanfront
  homes, and thick wooded vegetation bordering the
  sandy beach. The bottom image shows the same
  location on August 31, 2005, two days after
  landfall of Hurricane Katrina. All of the houses
  have been destroyed, and the tennis court behind
  the house on the far right is no longer
  recognizable. The vegetation, which should be at
  its peak in August, has been stripped from the
  trees.
