Suomi NPP Nighttime Image of Franklin

Caption

NASA-NOAA Suomi NPP satellite captured this night time image of Tropical Storm Franklin on Aug. 8 at 3:58 a.m. EDT (0758 UTC) over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. At that time, Franklin's northwestern edge had not yet reached San Francisco de Campeche or Merida, as the lights of both cities were still visible in the image.
