      On May 18, 2020, Tropical Cyclone Gina formed in the South Pacific   
      Ocean east of Vanuatu. The sixth named storm of the 2021-2022 South   
      Pacific tropical cyclone season, the storm actually is an out-of-season   
      system, as the season started on November 1, 2021, and ended on April   
      30, 2022.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of Tropical Cyclone   
      Gina on May 19 when it was approaching the islands of Vanuatu, which   
      can be southwest of the storm. Several islands of Fiji can be seen to   
      the east. At the time the image was acquired, Tropical Cyclone Gina   
      sported a large cloudy-filled eye with weak circulation around the   
      center.   
      
      At 2100 UTC (5:00 p.m. EDT) on May 19, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center   
      (JTWC) reported Gina was carrying maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (64   
      km/h) with gusts to 53 mph (85 km/h) and was located approximately 36   
      miles (58 km) north-northwest of Port Villa, Vanuatu and was tracking   
      south-southwestward. Maximum significant wave height is 14 feet (4.2   
      meter). Tropical Cyclone Gina is expected to maintain the current   
      strength and motion over the next 36 hours and then will weaken and   
      dissipate within 72 hours. While the system is carrying substantial   
      rain, severe damage to land is not currently anticipated.
