This image of Tropical Storm Agatha's rainfall and cloud heights was captured by NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite on May 28. It showed some hot towers higher than 16 kilometers (10 miles) with very heavy rainfall (more than 2 inches per hour) in red areas as it was making landfall.
