In stampr: Spatial Temporal Analysis of Moving Polygons

#' Hurricane Katrina polygons dataset
#'
#' A dataset containing polygons representing the movement of Hurricane Katrina from 21:00 26-AUG-2005 to 
#' 21:00 29-AUG-2005. Polygon contours were extracted from the US NOAA H*Wind product, downloadable from:
#' \url{https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/data_sub/wind.html}
#' 
#' The \code{katrina} dataset contains polygons that were derived from the raw NOAA H*Wind data. The 39 mph isotach
#' (contour of equal wind speed) was used to delineate, as a spatial polygon, the extent of Hurricane Katrina 
#' at a given time. Polygons were derived at 3 hr intervals; which means there are 33 different time points in
#' the dataset.
