Hi Kate-

Sorry for the delay in responding.

The servers/datasets that we provide in our default list are primarily
realtime servers.  There are some case study datasets, but none for
Katrina.  

You could request Katrina sat images from SSEC.  These would be loaded
on their ADDE server and you could then use the IDV sat chooser
to access it there.  Information on using that archive are at:
