Hurricane #Helene brought heavy precipitation and destructive flooding to coastal Florida and southeastern states. This map, made with data from @NASA’s IMERG product, shows rainfall accumulation between Sept. 25-27. go.nasa.gov/3BBvHen
ALT Map of southeastern U.S. with a data overlay showing rainfall accumulation data. The data is coded by color ranging from white to red. A key at the bottom of the image correlates color to total rainfall in centimeters, with zero being white and dark red being more than 30.

But sometimes "worst case" scenarios really do come to pass, and I think we often lack the collective imagination to fully envision what that looks like. That's a problem, because being honest about risks that exist is first step toward mitigating them & preventing harm! [18/n]

I had fun tonight attending a @NASA @nzspacegovt event at the New Zealand Parliament and watched the opportunity rover documentary. 30% of NASA programs are aimed at Earth observation and it was interesting to reflect on how much science that's enabled.
