This flyby of Hurricane Nicole was created by GPM's Radar data. On Oct. 17, the GPM satellite estimated rainfall around the southern side of Nicole's eye falling at a rate of over 113 mm (4.4 inches) per hour. Powerful storms in Nicole's eye were reaching heights of only about 12 km (7.4 miles). Credit: NASA/JAXA, Hal Pierce
