Abstract:
Tropical Cyclone Crystal approaches the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The storm packed sustained winds of 80 miles per hour with gusts up to 96 miles per hour.

The first isosurface is grey and depicts areas with 0.5 inches of rain per hour. The second is light blue and reflects 1.0 inches of rain per hour. The third is green and shows 1.7 inches of rain per hour. The forth is yellow and represents 2.0 inches of rain per hour. The last isosurface is red and shows 2.2 inches or more of rain.
