      MSGID: 1:317/3 629f9243       PID: hpt/lnx 1.9.0-cur 2019-01-08       TID: hpt/lnx 1.9.0-cur 2019-01-08       June 7, 2022 - Flooding in South Florida               Flooding in South Florida        Tweet        Share               Southern Florida was drowned in a deluge from Potential Tropical        Cyclone One (PTC 1) from June 3 – 5, 2022. Rainfall of more than 13        inches (33 cm) were measured in Miami-Dade County while local media        reported 14 inches (36 cm) of rainfall in Hollywood, Broward County, in        less than 72 hours. Flooding caused cancellations of many dozens of        airline flights, stopped traffic, cut power to more than 3,000        Floridians, and required several rescues from vehicles trapped in deep        water.               On June 5, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on        board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a false-color image of the        aftermath of the deluge in South Florida. This type of image uses        visible and infrared light (MODIS bands 7,2, and 1) to help        differentiate water, which appears black, from vegetation, which looks        bright green. Cloud may appear white or be lightly tinted with blue and        open (unvegetated) land would look tan.               A huge swath of south Florida, from west of West Palm Beach to the        southern tip of the state, has been completely inundated. The area        underwater, as measured through the NASA Worldview App, spans more than        2,470 square miles (6,400 square kilometers). Most of this flooded area        is in low-lying wildlife refuges and the Everglades.               While this one image gives an impressive view of the aftermath of the        tropical system, to truly appreciate the change brought by the storm it        is helpful to compare a Terra MODIS image captured before the storm        with this one, captured afterwards. This is simple, thanks to the NASA        Worldview App. To view a roll-over comparison of an image captured on        May 28, prior to the storm, and the one above, captured on June 5,        simply click here.               The system was first named PTC 1 at 5 p.m EDT June 2 as it formed, in        part, from the remnants of Hurricane Agatha, which struck the western        coast of Mexico on May 30 as the first-named storm of the Pacific        hurricane season and the strongest hurricane to make landfall on the        Pacific Coast of Mexico in May since 1949, when records first began.        Agatha dissipated in the high country of Mexico on May 31, but remnants        continued to unleash heavy rain as it moved across the Yucatan        Peninsula. Once over the Gulf of Mexico, the remnants began to interact        with a low-level trough to create PTC 1. PTC 1 crossed the Gulf of        Mexico, fighting enough wind sheer to keep it below tropical storm        strength, striking Southern Florida from June 2-5. As the storm moved        off Florida’s Atlantic Coast on June 5, it finally restrengthened to        become Tropical Storm Alex, the first named storm of the Atlantic        hurricane season. On June 6, Alex became a post-tropical cyclone after        passing to the west of Bermuda.               Image Facts        Satellite: Terra        Date Acquired: 6/5/2022        Resolutions: 1km (170.8 KB), 500m (424.3 KB), 250m (265.7        KB)        Bands Used: 7,2,1        Image Credit: MODIS Land Rapid Response Team, NASA GSFC                            https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/individual.php?db_date=2022-06-07               --- up 14 weeks, 1 day, 20 minutes        * Origin: -=> Castle Rock BBS <=- Now Husky HPT Powered!
