Hurricane Debby made landfall near the town of Steinhatchee, Fla., on Aug. 5, 2024, as a Category 1 storm. As it moves northeast, the storm is forecast to stall over the U.S. Southeast and deliver torrential rainfall.
This GeoColor image was captured by the Advanced Baseline Imager on the GOES-16 (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16) four hours before Debby made landfall. The satellite is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which includes the National Weather Service. NASA helps develop and launch the GOES series of satellites, which observe Earth from about 22,000 miles (36,000 kilometers) above the equator.
