MEIXCO - 21 October 2013 - Hurricane Raymond was at its strongest when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this image at 3:10 on October 21, 2013. The Category 3 storm had sustained winds near 195 kilometers (120 miles) per hour as it spun off Mexico’s western shore. Though Raymond was not forecast to come ashore, it poses a threat to flood-weary Acapulco and nearby communities. The storm’s outer bands are circulating over coastal regions, unleashing heavy rain. Since Raymond is stalled offshore, the rain has persisted since Saturday - Photo: Geopix/NASA
