[edit] Summary

Description

Hurricane Emily is shown here in the Caribbean bearing down on the Yucatan Peninsula on the morning of July 17, 2005. The image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite at 16:25 UTC (12:25 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time). At this time, it was a well-developed and powerful hurricane with winds over 250 kilometers an hour (130 knots) and gusts as high as 300 km/hr (160 knots). Tourists in the Yucatan Peninsula are being evacuated from resort areas and beaches as the hurricane continues on track to make landfall there during the morning of July 18, 2005.
