Tropical Cyclone Erica
Tropical Cyclone Erica (22P), satellite image, on 13 March 2003. North is at top. Erica peaked as a powerful Category 5 cyclone on 12 March 2003. One day later it hit the French Pacific island of New Caledonia. The eye of the cyclone (surrounded by swirls of dense clouds) is seen north-west of New Caledonia, moving to the south. It devastated the western coast of the island, destroying houses, power lines and trees, with winds speeds up to 250 kilometres an hour. At least two people died, and many were injured and left homeless. A cyclone is a large rotating storm system, forming from strong evaporation over warm tropical waters.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sheer power and destructive force of Tropical Cyclone Erica, captured by NASA's Terra satellite on 13 March 2003. The image reveals the immense scale of this Category 5 cyclone as it approached the French Pacific island of New Caledonia. With its eye clearly visible amidst swirling clouds, the cyclone is seen moving southwards from a north-western position. The aftermath of Erica's devastating impact on New Caledonia is evident in this photograph. Houses, power lines, and trees lie destroyed along the western coast, bearing witness to winds reaching speeds of up to 250 kilometers per hour. Tragically, at least two lives were lost while countless others were injured and left homeless in its wake. Cyclones like Erica are born from intense evaporation over warm tropical waters and can rapidly develop into massive storm systems with rotating winds. This particular image was captured using NASAs MODIS sensor on board Terra satellite - an instrument designed to provide moderate-resolution imagery for meteorological analysis. The swirling clouds depicted here serve as a reminder of nature's fury and our vulnerability in the face of such severe storms. As we gaze upon this breathtaking yet ominous scene from space, let us not forget the human toll that these extreme weather events can exact upon communities living in their path.
