The MODIS instrument onboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Hurricane Alex off the mid-Atlantic coast on August 4, 2004 at 2:15 P.M. EDT. At the time this image was taken, Alex had maximum sustained winds near 95 mph and was still on an east-northeast course at 18 mph. The Tropical Predicition Center was forecasting Alex to increase in forward speed over the next 24 hours while flucuating in intensity.
