On Aug. 26, 2018 at 0223 UTC (Aug. 25 at 10:23 p.m. EDT) the GPM core observatory satellite revealed that extremely heavy rainfall was occurring within the organizing storm. GPM's radar measured rain falling at over 190 mm (7.5 inches) per hour in one powerful storm. The most powerful storm in this simulated 3D view from the north-northeast was shown by GPM's radar to reach heights of about 15 km (9.3 miles).
