Aqua image of Elida (IMAGE) NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Caption On Aug. 9 at 4:55 a.m. EDT (0855 UTC) NASA's Aqua satellite gathered temperature information about Elida's cloud tops. Aqua found the most powerful thunderstorms (yellow) were around the center of circulation, where temperatures were as cold as or colder than minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 62.2 Celsius). That area was surrounded by thunderstorms (red) slightly less high in the atmosphere, but still powerful rainmakers with cloud top temperatures as cold as or colder than minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56.6 Celsius).
