Hurricane Matthew Makes Landfall
On October 4, 2016, Hurricane Matthew made landfall on southwestern Haiti as a category-4 storm, the strongest storm to hit the Caribbean nation in more than 50 years. Just hours after landfall, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite acquired this natural-color image. At the time, Matthew had top sustained winds of about 230 kilometers (145 miles) per hour.
