Rain tends to be heaviest near the center of a storm, in what is known as the eyewall, shown here in red. The highest rainfall rate for Typhoon Mangkhut reached 11.7 inches per hour inside the southern wall on Friday.
Dr. Owen Kelley, a research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center who oversees storm data, said this rainfall is truly torrential.
“Like a summertime downpour where you get totally drenched a few seconds after stepping out into it without an umbrella,” he said. “Huge drops are falling. It would almost hurt as the drops fell on you.”
