Summary
PD NOAA picture of Hurricane Floyd
According to Snopes.com, this picture often circulates through the Internet with a wide variety of descriptions, usually the most recent devastating hurricane. It has at various times been identified as Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Frances, and even the Indian Ocean tsunami. It is, in fact, Hurricane Floyd in September, 1999. Perhaps the fact that it is such a striking image is the reason it is such a temptation to credit it with being other disasters.
