The hook echo is one of the classical hallmarks of tornado-producing supercell thunderstorms as seen on a weather radar. The echo is produced by rain, hail, or even debris being wrapped around the supercell. The National Weather Service considers the presence of a hook echo as sufficient to justify issuing a tornado warning

Why is a hurricane a natural disaster?

"Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons (but not tornadoes). They are natural disasters because they form purely by natural means, e.g. weather conditions, and they cause disaster when they reach land, having strong, destructive winds. Sometimes they also cause extensive flooding.

How was hurricane karina a natural disaster?

The hurricane itself was a natural disaster. It is impossible to attribute a single storm to climate change, although there are studies that indicate that it may have been stronger and better organized than it otherwise would have (if the Gulf weren't as warm). Regardless, New Orleans is situated in an area at high risk of hurricanes no matter how the climate changes. However, the disaster that Katrina caused was indisputably influenced by humans, i.e., the way New Orleans is built (it is now below sea level with a lake on one side) and the way the levees were constructed. The way the disaster played out magnified certain inequities in society that are purely human policy-generated and have nothing to do with the environment. So depending on exactly what you're referring to, Katrina was almost entirely a natural disaster, or it was very much human-induced, in terms of what unfolded after the hurricane had already done its damage.
