Hurricane Isabel Batters North Carolina, September 18, 2003

This animation is of Hurricane Isabel on September 18, 2003 as it barrels toward the East Coast of the United States. At this time, Isabel waspacking winds of 105 MPH and was downgraded to a Category 2 storm. The animation peels away the cloud layer and reveals the storm's rain structure. The yellow isosurface represents areas where at least 0.5 inches ofrain fell per hour. The green isosurface show 1.0 inches of rain per hour and red displays where more than 2 inches of rain fell per hour.

This animation is of Hurricane Isabel on September 18, 2003 as it hits the East Coast of the United States.  The storm is vast, but the rain structure is relatively small and non-symmetric for a storm of this size.    This animation is of Hurricane Isabel on September 18, 2003 as it hits the East Coast of the United States.
