Wave catastrophes are characterized by logarithmic phase singularities.
Examples are light at the horizon of a black hole, sound in transsonic fluids,
waves in accelerated frames, light in singular dielectrics and slow light close
to a zero of the group velocity. We show that the wave amplitude grows with a
half-integer power for monodirectional and symmetric wave catastrophes.
