    This satellite view of a weather phenomenon has to be one of the
    hardest-working pictures in show business. In September 2004 it was
    circulated as a photograph of Hurricane Frances, in December 2004 it was
    circulated as a photograph of the Indian Ocean tsunami, and in August 2005
    it was circulated as a photograph of Hurricane Katrina.

    Despite its reputation as an all-purpose storm photograph, this picture is
    actually a satellite image of Hurricane Floyd from September 1999. Similar
    genuine satellite images of Hurricane Katrina (such as this one) can be
    found on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) web
    site.
