Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This storm was spread over the Lesser Antilles Islands in the eastern Caribbean, its centre not clearly discernible. Erika looks like a weak storm. Instead of clouds that spiral in towards a well-defined centre, spokes radiate out from the storm as high-altitude winds pull the storm apart. The storm’s shape is elongated, a distorted oval instead of a circle. Within hours of this image, Erika would be a remnant low, no longer organized enough to be a tropical system.
