Hurricane Ida

Bands of heavy rain circled the center of Hurricane Ida on November 8, when the storm was passing through the Yucatan Channel, but as the storm headed northward into the Gulf of Mexico on November 9, the rainfall bands became less organized.

This image originally appeared in the NASA Earth Observatory story Hurricane Ida.
