description:
The MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Hurricane Frances on August 31, 2004 at 17:55 UTC (1:55 PM EDT). At the time this image was taken Frances was located approximately 230 km (140 miles) north-northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico and was moving towards the west near 26 km/hr (16 mph). Maximum sustained winds were near 225 km/hr (140 mph) and the storm's minimum central pressure was down to 942 millibars.

The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at rapidfire.sci.gsfc.n asa.gov/gallery/?200 4244-0831/Frances2.A 2004244.1755.2km.jpg additional resolutions and formats.
