El huracán Dorian, que todavía se precipita hacia el sur de Florida, se intensificó a una categoría 4, con vientos que alcanzan velocidades de 130 mph, antes de golpear a los Estados Unidos continentales.
A medida que la tormenta se acerca a la tierra, los satélites operados por NASA y la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica (NOAA) continúan rastreando su movimiento y progreso.
Puedes ver algunas de las imágenes de esas observaciones satelitales a continuación, que se han compartido en las redes sociales.
Take a look at all that lightning! The Geostationary Lightning Mapper aboard NOAA's #GOESEast captured this view of all the lightning associated with #HurricaneDorian2019 in the morning hours of Aug. 30, 2019. Follow the storm's path here: https://t.co/raWlm8629m pic.twitter.com/qxOMNmzXIq

📷 CloudSat shows a 3D animation of Dorian, still a tropical storm at the time, near Puerto Rico. CloudSat "slices" through clouds, enabling us to see their height, their different layers and the areas where the heavier bands of rain are found within the storm system. pic.twitter.com/ME7LKIl6GB
