jerseyfabulousa sign from god: fundamentalist group claims hurricane katrina looks like a fetus, thus must be a punishment for abortion
um. yeah. not to use logic or anything, but those colors? they're just stuff the weather geeks put in so you can see things in a meaningful way. guessing that particular image shows rainfall. if you look at it from space, it looks like a storm. not a fetus. and the land isn't all uniformly green either. (if you want to see what it looks like, here's a nasa pic-"katrina arrives.")
i don't know if katrina imagery will still be there, but feel free to explore the wonders of modern meteorology for yourself on the noaa national hurricane center website. click on the satellite imagery option in the side menu for more satellite images in various formats than you can shake a stick at.
and if anyone wants more pretty pictures from space, nasa photo gallery, the jsc image collection and earth from space gallery are all fun to browse through. (which reminds me, i downloaded the images to try to make myself a rotating earth icon...)
