      After crashing across the Caribbean, causing damage in Jamaica, Cayman   
      Islands, and Cuba, Hurricane Ian made landfall in southwestern Florida   
      on September 28, 2022, as a strong Category 4 storm, carrying maximum   
      sustained winds of 150 mph (241 km/h). Over the next twenty-four hours   
      Ian ground across the Florida Peninsula, slowly weakening in strength   
      as it deposited record rainfall across the state. According to the   
      National Hurricane Center (NHC), Ian moved off the Florida coast near   
      Cape Canaveral and moved over the western Atlantic Ocean at 11:00 a.m.   
      EST on September 29 after producing “catastrophic flooding” over much   
      of the state.   
      
      Our Image of the Day illustrates widespread and devastating flooding in   
      Florida by comparing two false-color images acquired by the Moderate   
      Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra   
      satellite. The first image, located on the left, was acquired after the   
      storm on September 30, 2022. The second was acquired a week earlier, on   
      September 23. To interact with this roll-over comparison, click on the   
      image and scroll back and forth.   
      
      In this type of false-color image, visible and infrared light (MODIS   
      bands 7,2,1) are combined to help highlight certain features, such as   
      water and vegetation. Vegetation appears bright green, water looks deep   
      blue, cloud may appear white or be tinted with light electric blue, and   
      open land may be colored various shades of tan. Where dense vegetation   
      is water-logged (rather than under water), the color becomes darker   
      green.   
      
      Hurricane Ian first made landfall in Florida near Cayo Costa, an island   
      near Fort Meyers, then made a second landfall near Punta Gorda. These   
      areas can be seen on the southwestern Florida coast, almost due west of   
      the large, round Lake Okeechobee. The points of impact include the   
      large Gasparilla Sound-Charlotte Harbor (where the Peace River empties   
      into the Gulf of Mexico), the large Pine Island, and the barrier   
      islands including Sanibel Island (curving around the southern section   
      of Pine Island), Captiva Island, and Cayo Costa.   
      
      Much of the area located near landfall was drowned under storm surge of   
      seven feet or more; however, by September 30 the storm surge had   
      receded and cannot be seen on the image acquired that day. Major   
      flooding is obvious along the Peace River, which crested at a   
      record-setting 25.26 feet after the storm. Orlando, which sits well   
      inland and along the northeasterly track of Ian, received 12.49 inches   
      of rain between September 28 and 29, crushing that city’s 24-hour   
      rainfall record. The Weather Channel reported that up to 19 inches of   
      rain had fallen in parts of Florida in Ian’s wake.
