The Global Precipitation Measurement’s core satellite measured intense rainfall in #HurricaneIrma’s nearly circular eye. Rain was falling at a rate of more than 10.8 inches (274 mm) per hour in the solid ring of powerful storms within Irma's eye wall. GPM's radar revealed that some of Irma’s extremely powerful storms were more than 10 miles (16.2 km) high. https://go.nasa.gov/2wTNUkL Updated forecasts: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/hurricane-irma | NASA Earth
