Eyes in the Sky: Satellite Images of Hurricane Harvey
Hurricane Harvey has already dumped the highest total rainfall from a hurricane in the continental U.S. at a record 49.32 inches — and the storm will continue to rage through the end of the week. Here, we’ve collected some awe-inspiring satellite images of one of the worst hurricanes in American history.
