Movie ID Title
Hurricane Ike threatens the entire Gulf Coast on September 12, 2008. The blue region represents areas where the storm is dumping at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour and the green region is raining 0.5 inches of inches per hour. Yellow is 1 inch of rain per hour and red is 2 inches of rain per hour. 3560 Hurricane Ike Attacks the Gulf Coast on September 12, 2008
Hurricane Ike strengthens in the Gulf. TRMM observed this 17 km tower. 3559 Hurricane Ike on September 10, 2008 at 1745 UTC
NASA's TRMM satellite peers beneath the clouds to capture this view of Hurricane Ike. The 12 km towers in the outer band, shown in red, lead scientists to believe that the inner eye is eroding as the outer bands are becoming better defined. This could limit rapid intensity development in the very near term. 3558 Hurricane Ike Strengthens in the Gulf of Mexico on September 10, 2008
Hurricane Ike slams into Cuba at 7:04 EDT on September 8, 2008. 3557 Hurricane Ike Slams Cuba on September 8, 2008
