Summary

[edit]
Description

The eastern Pacific hurricane season had been relatively quiet when Hurricane Henriette formed in late August of 2007. Henriette traveled off shore from the Mexican Pacific coast from August 30 to September 4, gradually becoming a Category One hurricane. The storm had just come ashore over Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this photo-like image at 1:55 p.m. local time (20:55 UTC) on September 4, 2007, said the National Hurricane Center

Just a few hours before MODIS observed the storm, the National Hurricane Center estimated Henriette’s sustained winds to be over 110 kilometers per hour (75 miles per hour), consistent with their Category One strength prediction. The satellite image shows Henriette to have only a loosely wound spiral arm structure and only traces of a central eye. This is consistent with a low strength hurricane.
