video: Hurricane Paul made landfall along Baja California on Oct. 17 and tracked north along the coast. As it moved north it continued to weaken. An animation of imagery from NOAA's GOES-15 satellite from Oct. 16 to 18 shows Paul making landfall, moving up the coast and weakening to a remnant low pressure area while moving west and out to sea. The animation was created by NASA's GOES Project at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. On Oct. 18, Paul's remnants continued to weaken and become absorbed into a larger-scale weak trough (elongated area) of low pressure , located north of 20 degrees North latitude, and between 115 and 130 West longitude . The eastern Pacific has seen the last of Hurricane Paul. view more
